What Happened
The Central Electronic Module (CEM) is like the brain of your car. It controls many systems, including your windshield wipers, turn signals, and headlights. In some 2014 Volvo S60, S80, XC60, and XC70 models, this module might not work correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the CEM fails, your windshield wipers could keep running even when it's not raining, and your turn signals, high beams, and headlight switch might not work at all. This could make it harder to see and be seen on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will update the CEM software to fix the issue, free of charge. You'll get a notification when it's time to bring your car in for the update – just schedule it when you receive the notice.
