The power steering system in your XC90 helps you steer the vehicle. There's a small pipe in the system that could leak oil, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the oil pipe leaks, you could suddenly lose power steering while driving, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty oil pipes in the power steering rack at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
