general problems of the 1999 Volvo S70

I had not diven this car for about a year because I bought a 2008 c70 that I was driving. I decided to start driving this one for the winter. On a rainy morning on my way to work, my windows frosted up inside so bad that I didn't think I was going to make it to work. My defroster failed. I just tried my car again and the defroster seemed to work - only slower- but now my dashboard is showing me a light that says etc. From reading on-line, it sounds like I should have received a recall letter about this. . Needless to say, I did not. Is Volvo going to take care of this matter - since I never received a recall letter or knew that there was such a problem?.
