For the crashes, in addition to the 22 submitted by Volvo, ODI found 10 additional crash allegations in the owner reports, field reports, and warranty claims submitted by Volvo.of these 32 crashes, ODI believes that 10 are clearly related to the alleged defect, and 5 appear to be related.of the 17 remaining cases, two did not involve a crash and the other 15 could not be directly connected to the alleged defect.ODI will supplement this resume with a closing report and additional technical details concerning the defect.
