Volvo has issued a recall for more than 500 C30, S40 and V50 vehicles from the 2010 and 2011 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall affects those models equipped with six-speed manual transmissions because the gearshift lever stud assembly may not be tightened to the correct specification. This means you could find yourself unable to engage, disengage or shift gears if the gearshift lever cable or stud assembly loosens. A failure of the gearbox could cause an accident.

Dealers will tighten the gearshift lever stud assembly to the correct specification for free. Owners may contact Volvo at 800-458-1552, email Volvo at customercare@volvoforlife.com or call NHTSA’s vehicle safety hot line at 888-327-4236.
