## What is wrong

Volvo Car of N.A., LLC \(Volvo Cars\) is recalling certain 2018\-2020 XC60 vehicles.  The nuts that secure the front wipers may not have been sufficiently tightened, possibly causing the wipers to not function properly.


## What can happen

The risk of the front wiper arms nut fixation to loosen and not holding the arm in correct position, the wiper function could be reduced and vision could be impaired, thus increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Volvo Car will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the nuts holding the front windshield wiper arms in position, free of charge.  The recall began September 29, 2020.  Owners may contact Volvo Car customer service at 1\-800\-458\-1552.  Volvo Car's number for this recall is R10044.
