If your 1999 or 2000 V XC or S-70 headlight switch failed V70-XC70

If your 1999 or 2000 V, XC, or S-70 headlight switch failed, please report it to the NHTSA at:

Unless I am grossly mis-informed, the headlight switch is the same as on the 1998s, which were subject to a safety recall. It infuriates me that Volvo is aware of this potential safety problem and has not issued a safety recall. NHTSA will not investigate or issue a recall until there is a critical mass of complaints.

    Why? V70-XC70

    I work at a dealer and '99 on up cars don't have the same switch problem. Volvo cured the '98 only switch problems with the campaign and in that production year. I havent yet seen one '99 or newer car with a bad headlight switch but that also doesn't mean that one can't fail either, it's a car part and nothing lasts forever.
