Subject to the recall are V70, S80 and S60 models manufactured between October 1995 and April 1998 and imported between July 1999 and November 2001, the importer said in a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.


PAG Import said a part in a fan motor controller inside a radiator is improperly soldered and that it could catch fire if there is a short circuit.


The importer filed the report after a Volvo car’s engine caught fire in Kunitachi, western Tokyo, in February, Kyodo News said.
