Up to 95 we didn't see any ABS failures on the Volvos either and with the new system introduced in 96, it happens a lot.
Since the Volvo problem has been around for more years it is a lot more rebuilders out there and lower prices for the repair.
Also from get go, you could replace just the ABS unit on the Volvo, so even with the full retail price of a new unit the repair ended up around $600.00-800.00 parts and labor.
This is similar to the IDM problem where a supplier of a part might be responsible, but it is the car maker that takes the brunt of peoples complaints.
