What's wrong?
The rear toe link on the 2019 Volvo S60 is a suspension arm that helps set the angle of each rear wheel. Its flange lock nuts clamp the toe link joint in place, so the rear wheels stay pointed as designed while the suspension moves over bumps and through turns.
In this recall, the nuts were not tightened to the required torque during assembly. Volvo says the nut joint was only started by hand on affected vehicles, which leaves the joint without the clamping force it needs. As the vehicle is driven, a loose joint can let the toe link shift. That changes rear wheel alignment suddenly and changes the way the vehicle handles.
The warning sign is noise from the rear suspension area. If you hear new clunking, knocking, or movement from the rear of the S60, treat it as a sign the joint needs dealer inspection.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician inspects the rear toe link flange bolts and lock nuts and replaces the covered hardware that does not meet the recall requirements. The recall repair is available now, and the inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free. If you've already paid out of pocket for a related rear suspension repair before the recall notice, Volvo's general reimbursement plan covers documented expenses.
