What Happened
The engine mount in your V8 XC90 or S80 is the part that keeps the engine stable and secure. In some 2008 models, the bolts that hold it in place might be loose, which could cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the engine mount bracket breaks, your engine could collide with the car's frame, causing the engine to stall without warning. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will inspect the engine mount bolts and replace the bracket and bolts if necessary, all free of charge. You've already been contacted, so be sure to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
