“... However, Volvo's typical recommendation of no transmission fluid service is confusing, since the incidence of transmission failures in AWD/FWD cars is well known...”
Well known incidence of failure - yep. But rarely within the warranty period. Good calculating on Volvo’s part. It’s all about convincing the original buyer that the cost of ownership will reasonable. Just like their variations in timing belt replacement recommendations. Different from state-to-state just to satisfy the laws. Even though no mechanical difference in the engines.
