STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Volvo Cars is recalling 105,000 cars worldwide, including about 30,000 in the United States, because of a problem with the steering system, the company said Tuesday.

The problem affects the 2004 S60, S80 and V70 models and can be fixed at a Volvo repair shop, company spokesman Peter Ganjbar said.

The problem, which involves ball joints in the steering system, hasn’t caused any accidents, but could affect handling, he said.
