NEWS:
Volvo recalls 360,000 cars for speed control
bugDETROIT, Nov 24
(Reuters) - Volvo, a unit of Ford Motor Co.
is recalling about 360,000 cars because of a
problem with vehicle speed controls that can
cause engines to lose power without warning,
Volvo said on Friday.
Volvo said a defect in the
electronic throttle module in cars built
between 1999 and 2002 could cause the
vehicle to shift into a "limp home" mode in
which the maximum speed is about 15 miles
per hour.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
ordered the Volvo recall.
The recall applies to
Volvo C70 and V70 models built between 1999
and 2002, S60 models built between 2001 and
2002, and S70 and V70X models built between
1999 and 2000.
