2010 Volvo XC60: problems, recalls and reliability

“I attempted to use the temporary spare tire that came with the car, and 1) the lug wrench provided with the car rounded out when trying to remove the lug bolts, 2) the lug bolts were too long and bottom out in the hub before they tighten down the thin steel spare rim to the car. In short, the spare tire is does not work with the lug bolts that come with the car. This poses a risk as owners will reasonable think they have a means to mitigate a flat tire and be caught stranded as even a well maintained, factor-designed spare tire kit is useless.”Owner report · Wheels · Feb 2023
