- What is wrong

- Risk
- Over time the studs may loosen sufficiently to cause an electrical short.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install new chassis mounted emergency start studs and associated battery cables. Owner notification is expected to begin during november 2003. Owners should contact volvo at 1‑800‑528‑6586.
