What This Recall Means

Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS

What Happened
Your vehicle's brake light system has two relays that help your brake lights work. In some cases, these relays can malfunction, making it hard for other drivers to see when you're slowing down.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake lights don't come on when you press the brake pedal, other drivers might not know you're slowing down, which could lead to a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will swap out the faulty relays with new, improved ones – at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
