What Happened
The starter motor fuse is a crucial part of your car's electrical system. It helps your car start when you turn the key. In some 2016 Volvo models made between April and August 2015, this fuse might not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuse blows unexpectedly while you're driving, you might get stuck in traffic with a dead car. This could make it hard to get moving again, and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the starter motor fuse with a stronger one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
