What Happened
The engine oil pressure sensor in your S60 is a critical safety feature that alerts you when the oil pressure in your engine gets too low. In some 2011-2012 models, this sensor may not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If your car doesn't warn you about low oil pressure, you might keep driving until the engine stalls. Stalling the engine while driving increases the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will update the software in your vehicle to ensure you get a warning if the oil pressure gets too low. This service is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
