What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Volvo S60, V60, S90, XC60 and XC90 hybrid vehicles may have a loose connection where the brake pedal links to the hydraulic brake unit, at a part called the pushrod screw joint. If this connection loosens, pressing the brake pedal may not properly engage the brakes. Dealers will inspect and tighten this connection as needed to fix the problem, free of charge.
