Official summary

Volvo Car USA LLC and Volvo Car Canada Ltd on behalf of Volvo Car Corporation, has decided to launch Service Action S10090 on certain Volvo S60, V60, V60CC, XC60, S90, V90, V90CC, XC90 Model Year 2021 vehicles. Volvo has identified that the software may not be robust enough to handle the large number of signals transmitted to the audio amplifier. This can result in a pop noise from the sound system. The corrective action is to perform a Total Upgrade software. S10090 affects 5,477 vehicles in the U.S. and 1,301 in Canada.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
