What this recall means for you
Certain front windshield wiper arm nuts may not have been tightened enough at the factory. If they loosen, the wiper arms may not stay in the correct position, wiper performance can drop, and the driver's view through the windshield can be reduced, which raises the risk of a crash.
The fix is free. Authorized dealers will tighten the nuts that hold the front wiper arms in place at no cost to the owner. Owners will also be notified by Volvo Cars, and you can contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552 with questions.
If you own a 2018, 2019, or 2020 Volvo XC60, check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls and schedule the repair with an authorized dealer.
