What's wrong?
The tire and loading information label on a 2008-2010 Volvo XC70 is the placard that tells an owner the tire size, loading limits, and proper pressure guidance for the vehicle. The FMVSS label and the owner's manual repeat that information so the same limits are available at the door label and in the book.
On affected XC70 vehicles, those printed references list an incorrect maximum permissible inflation pressure under FMVSS 110. The tire, wheel, and suspension parts are not described as defective in this recall. The problem is that the owner-facing pressure information is wrong, so an owner or service shop can rely on the wrong number when checking or setting tire pressure.
There is no warning sign before failure. The label and manual do not create a sound, light, or handling change by themselves. The issue is found by comparing the vehicle's printed tire information with the corrected recall information from Volvo.
Who's affected?
The scope spans 3 model years, all tied to the same vehicle-label component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific wagon is included.
What's the safety risk?
The safety issue is a compliance defect: the vehicle labels and TPMS software do not meet the federal standard. Check the VIN before relying on the label or tire pressure information, then schedule the dealer update. Repair will be free at any franchised Volvo dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2010 Volvo XC70 is included in this recall.
- Review the Volvo owner letter mailed on June 14, 2010, if you have it.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer and ask whether the free label and TPMS software update is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 10V190 when you call so the dealer can find the correct Volvo repair.
- Bring the owner manual so Volvo can add the corrected maximum tire pressure information label.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician updates the XC70 with a new federal safety label, a new tire and loading information label, and TPMS software. The retailer also adds a label to the owner's manual with the correct maximum tire pressure information. Volvo's source remedy says this service is performed free of charge, and the recall began on June 14, 2010. No repair time is listed in the source remedy.
