On certain Volvo V70 wagon, the location of the tailpipe and the possibility of variability in tailpipe length can present a unique set of circumstances where users of the third row seats may come in contact with the tailpipe when entering or exiting the vehicle. Correction: Owners will be requested to check their tailpipe length and, if necessary, return the vehicle to their dealer for modification.
