THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO THE U.S. AND CANADA.
From the beginning of December 1985, a new type tailgate lock has been used in production for wagons to counteract rattling. This lock improves the
positioning and security of the tailgate. At the same time, the two guide pieces on the tailgate sides are no longer used because a new striker plate is used
to guide the tailgate into position.
The new lock incorporates a secondary safety catch, child safety latch and safety bracket to help minimize damage in a rear end collision.
Only the new lock will be stocked by Volvo Parts. The new lock can be installed in earlier vehicles by following the instructions below.
