2012 Volvo S80 With the S80, Volvo has fully embraced modern Swedish minimalism. No longer a box on wheels like Volvos of yore, the S80′s exterior design is clean and inoffensive, so much so that it doesn’t make much of a statement on the road or at the valet stand.

S80 sedans manufactured during this time period are being recalled due to power steering reservoir return hoses that may have been incorrectly routed. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an incorrectly routed hose can result in increased pressure within the power steering system. If this happens, it’s possible for the hose to burst, resulting in a loss of power steering capability for the car
