What's wrong, in plain English
Volvo is recalling certain 2024 XC40 vehicles. A fault in the software that runs the car's central electronics module can stop the left rear turn signal from lighting up. The signal light on that corner of the car may simply not come on when the driver signals a turn. Volvo says the software can be updated by a dealer, or sent to the car as an over the air update, free of charge.
What you should do
2. Contact a Volvo dealer about the software update, which may also arrive over the air, or call Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552 (recall number R10256).
3. The update is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
