Looks like Volvo's bad recall news we told you about Wednesday got worse. Reuters is reporting that Volvo will recall 360000 cars (not 170000) we said in the previous post.

According to the official NHTSA-ordered recall Volvo will install new software to fix speed controls on the recalled cars. Models affected include the 1999-2002 V70 and C70 coupes and convertibles; the 2001-2002 S60; the 1999-2000 S70 and V70XC; 1999-2001 S80; and the 2001 XC70. The recall number is 06V441000.

Reuters reports that Volvo spokesman Christer Gustafsson said the automaker has fixed the speed control problem on about 165000 vehicles of the recall total after sending out notices to owners in March.
