Hi everyone,
I'm trying to work out if my V70 D5 is affected by this problem.

I can't see anything in the cars history about this recall having been done, but regular oil changes etc.

With the car being new to me, and it being over a year since its last oil change, I recently changed the oil in it myself. I put the full 6l in which seemed to settle towards the max mark on the oil dipstick (i believe some V70's don't even have an oil dipstick to check?)

Anyway, I've looked on the Vehicle Standards Agency recall list and it seems to list all manor of VIN numbers which don't make much sense to me. I presume it's based on the last 6 digits on my VIN? Mine falls under two or three of the vehicle ID brackets listed on that website.

Should I call Volvo to check if the vehicle underwent the recall?

Should I take some oil out as I filled it to the max mark?
