Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with optional accessory spare tire kit. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number. 110, "tire selection and rims." These vehicles do not contain the correct information for vehicles equipped with the optional accessory spare tire and wheel kit.

Why it matters: A misprinted label could lead to improper tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Volvo will notify owners and dealers will inspect the vehicle and install the label as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 23, 2012.
