What Happened
The tailgate locking mechanism in your vehicle is the part that keeps your tailgate secure. Unfortunately, some of these mechanisms were made wrong, which could cause your tailgate to lock or unlock at the wrong time.
Risk if Unfixed
If your tailgate doesn't lock properly, it could be left open, especially when you're driving in cold weather. This could let cargo fall out, or even make a collision more likely.
Free Fix
Your authorized Volvo dealer will replace the faulty locking mechanism for free, so schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice. If you don't get the repair done promptly, call Volvo at 1-800-458-1552 to follow up.
