Details

What's wrong: Under certain conditions and cold temperatures, the tailgate lifting arms may freeze which may cause the lifting arms to separate from the vehicle.

Why it matters: If the tailgate lifting arms separate, the arms could project rearward with significant force, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Volvo has notified owners, and dealers will replace the tailgate lift arms with an improved designed, free of charge. The recall began May 14, 2019.
