Vehicle stalled abruptly when traveling at highway speed. No check engine lights, etc were displayed. Pulled off of highway, restarted car after about 60 seconds and car ran without any further problems. This is similar behavior I experienced with a 2001 xc70 that had a recall for the throttle body ECM.
