What Happened
The tire pressure monitoring system in your S80 is supposed to alert you when the air pressure in your tires is too low. However, the system in certain 2007-2010 models has a software problem that can lead to incorrect readings.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tire pressure monitoring system fails, you might not get the warning you need to check your tire pressure, which could lead to uneven tire wear or a blowout on the road.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will update the TPMS software, replace the tire loading information label, and update the owner's manual label - all for free.
