Volvo is recalling about 8,400 S80 cars from the 2007 model year.
The company said a power steering system hose may burst, resulting in a loss of power steering fluid. That could cause a sudden loss of power steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo dealers will inspect the routing of the hose and make any necessary repairs free of charge.
