I own the Volvo S80 (3/2008)Auto 2.4 D. Car has run excellently until a few days ago when trying to move car out of garage, the electronic handbrake would not release!. All attempts to do so proved negative. Sadly there is no means of a physical or manual means to release such as I found out. The vehicle is still under warranty until March 8th. Telephoning main dealer the response, " The H/B will not be able to be released until in a main dealership garage". I had to call out a garage and meet the cost myself to convey car on a Flat bed lorry to dealership. The Workshop Technician grabbed the Blue chip Code box reader, and released the mechanism via the box!. However, the motor(s) are defective and need replacing so car remains with dealership. Why oh why could not the dealership have sent someone out to do this, instead of all of us struggling to remove the car from the garage with limited room to apply the skates on to allow it to be loaded onto the flatbed.
So beware

Do you drive a 2008 VOLVO S80?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
