What's wrong, in plain English

Volvo is recalling certain EX90 vehicles because of a software error in the low power controller. This error can cause the headlight shutters to close over both the high and low beams while the vehicle is being driven. When the shutters close, the headlights stop putting out light, which can leave the driver with little or no forward lighting on the road.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your EX90 is included.
2. Contact your Volvo dealer, or call Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552.
3. The software update is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 25V071000.
