A 2 inch deep x 2-1/2 inch wide portion needs to be trimmed from the underside of the fascia on your 2010 Volvo V70 for installation of CURT Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C12066.

If you will examine the instructions for the hitch install which I have linked to, CURT provides a diagram that shows exactly where and how much of the fascia needs to be trimmed away. See figure 9 on page 8 of the instructions. I am also including a picture that will show the trimming.

On some models, be aware that there will already be an outline marked on the bottom of the fascia, but this is the dimension for the factory Volvo hitch and it will not necessarily fit the CURT hitch.
