Its the "Ford Effect" again ! Lots of Volvo bits are/ were made to the Lower Ford spec when they bought Volvo out some years ago . Ford bean counters interfered with every aspect of the Volvo design . Not only Volvo affected either ! My Jaguar has lots of Ford bits and similar problems. A really annoying thing is that identical parts shared by Ford and Volvo cost vast different amounts so do a cross check when buying any spares. Will things improve with new/latest parent company ?
