On Wednesday, the company informed XC60 customers who own 2018 and 2019 models that "a faulty component on cars equipped with power tailgate" could potentially cause "personal injury".
"In cold climate, the tailgate lifting arm may separate, causing noise or loss of function," it said, stressing that it had not received any reports of "significant injuries".
"This is a preventive action to avoid any future issues," Volvo said.
Affected customers are to receive a letter instructing them to contact their dealer for a free repair. – AFP Relaxnews
