NHTSA recall 06V441000
Vehicle Speed Control · Volvo Car USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, a combination of throttle positioning sensor irregularities, a dirty throttle housing, and/or inefficient software calibration may cause a warning lamp to light and the subsequent onset of limp home modes.
Why it matters: This resulted in a high number of vehicles going into the limp home mode without need.
The fix: Dealers will install the current software upgrade onto the involved vehicles. The recall began on December 29, 2006.
