What's wrong, in plain English: Wiring, modules, batteries. Short circuits can cause stalls or fires.

What could happen: If the GPS location is not provided to emergency personnel it can inhibit emergency response in the event of a crash or injury.

The fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will correct the software, free of charge. The recall began December 26, 2018. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R39917.
