“Turbo return line unsealed and leaking oil. Dealer wanted to replace entire turbo; shouldn't happen to a car, esp. A volvo, that's only three years old with 56k miles on it. Dealer did a temporary fix but eventually will ahve to replace turbo way before its time to do so.”

The local dealer told me that volvo is replacing the rear braking system on a case by case basis. Please share this information with everyone . Thanks. *ak”
