What Happened
The label on your vehicle has incorrect information about the spare tire and wheel kit, which is an optional feature on your C70 or S60. This label is supposed to tell you how to inflate the spare tire properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the label is wrong, you might not know how to properly inflate the spare tire, which could lead to a blowout and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will inspect the vehicle and install the correct label for the spare tire and wheel kit, free of charge. You should have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
