Volvo is recalling certain 2008 v50 passenger vehicles equipped with roof rails. Bolts have been found to be out of specification. This has caused less tread length on the bolts which in turn has lead to insufficient clamping force in the joint due to the washer getting stuck when tightening the bolts.

The Romanian importer of Swedish Volvo cars, recalled in service 30 Volvo S40 and V50 models to replace some electronic modules as part of a global recall project. Company representatives said that the operation started a couple of days ago and a quarter of the requested cars were in service by now already.
