What Happened
Your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system and owner's manual contain incorrect information, which could lead to tire underinflation. This is a safety issue because your tires don't meet federal safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
If your tires are not properly inflated, you risk a blowout, which could cause a loss of control and potentially lead to an accident.
Free Fix
You should take your vehicle to a Volvo dealership as soon as possible, where they will update the tire information label, owner's manual, and tire pressure monitoring system software at no cost to you.
