First safety recalls of 2007

The first car safety recalls of 2007 have been announced today by Suzuki and Volvo.

Suzuki is contacting the owners of three Ignis and Swift models built in September 2005, as the brakes on the cars could fail.

Volvo wants to inspect 179 C70 convertibles built since launch, as incorrect weight information labels have been applied to the cars.

In both cases, owners will be contacted directly by the manufacturers with the offer of free checks and remedial work.
