^ S80 T6 Models

The Tire and Loading Information label and Owner's Manual tire information were printed with 35 psi (240 kpa) instead of the correct maximum inflation tire pressure of 36 psi (250 kpa). In addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) software has an incorrect trigger level of 35 psi (240 kpa) instead of the correct value of 36 psi (250 kpa).

^ S80 V-8 Models

The Tire and Loading Information label and Owner's Manual tire information were printed with 36 psi (250 kpa) instead of the correct maximum inflation tire pressure of 38 psi (260 kpa). In addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) software has an incorrect trigger level of 36 psi (250 kpa) instead of the correct maximum inflation tire pressure of 38 psi (260 kpa).

The incorrect tire pressures listed do not represent a risk to motor vehicle safety.

The corrective action is to update the vehicles with the new Tire and Loading Information label, Owner's Manual label and TPMS Software.
