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.

    the safety recall was for replacing the connectors at both headlights and applied to the '98 and '99 as far as I recall.

      Recall was '98 only, not newer..... V70-XC70

      Volvo also cured the switch problem in production during the '98 model year so even though the newer cars switches LOOK the same, they're the newer PN that was used in the '98 headlamp switch recall.
      The bulbs are yet another campaign, not related to the '98 headlight switch.
