What This Recall Means

What Happened
The bolts that hold the roof rails on your V50 are not tightening properly, which could lead to a loose connection.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're carrying heavy cargo on the roof and hit the brakes hard or make a sudden stop, the roof rails could come loose, making a crash more likely.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the roof rail bolts for free, so be sure to contact them as soon as possible to schedule the repair.
