From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Volvo is recalling almost 10,000 cars in Britain worth around £200m because of a problem with the steering, the company said.
The firm is recalling three models - S60, S80 and V70 - all of which were built in Sweden in the past year. Peter Ganjbar, a company spokesman, said that the problem, which involves ball joints in the steering system, has not caused any accidents but could affect the car's handling. Driving the models is not dangerous, the company said, and they will be fixed at Volvo dealerships. Anyone with an affected car will be contacted by letter and asked to bring their car to their nearest dealership.
Volvo said that 105,000 cars worldwide, including the 9,715 in Britain, were being recalled. A total of 30,000 were being recalled in the US, 17,000 in Sweden and 9,000 in Germany.
