Will there be a product recall for the Volvo S60 "full auto break" within 1 year after market entry?

Background: With the launch of the S60 next year, Volvo will introduce a "full auto brake" and "pedestrian safety" function. Cars will come a full stop at speeds less than about 15 miles an hour if their radar systems detect they are about to strike a car or a person. If the car is going faster, the car will try to come as close to a full stop as possible.

Will this new system be reliable?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. Must happen within one year after introduction to the market. Applies to US market only. Settles "Model/function not introduced" if no S60 is introduced, or no S60 version contains the "full auto brake" system during 2009 and 2010.
