Ladies and gentlemen, I’m driving a Volvo and I don’t just feel comfortable in the car, no, I’m also having fun with and on the vehicle. It doesn’t have to be a matter of course nowadays, but as a multi-driver, I’m also committed to the luxury of my car. Now I’m facing a small, self-made problem with my vehicle and ask for your valuable information.

Volvo assumes the full warranty in the event of a possible saltwater damage to chassis, Bodywork or any other part of the vehicle? Or do you advise not to follow your advertising example?
