Volvo Car USA is recalling four model year 2021 XC40 BEVs.

A bolt that secures the cross-member bracket to the electrical motor in the engine compartment may be loose or missing.

A loose or missing bolt may decrease the structural protection of the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

What to do

Dealers will replace the cross-member bracket and install new bracket bolts free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 10, 2022.

Owners may contact Volvo customer service at (800) 458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R10128.
