Push it back on for the time being.

There is a very cheap kit ( about £6 ) from Volvo which will repair it.

I thought the kit was flimsy and put a thin nut and bolt through the centre of that ball joint and it never budged again in the next 60 k.

Once the arm is properly attached the message will disappear over the following days. Obviously Vida could reset it again. I'll post other photos of my fix later this morning. That is not an expensive job provided the swirl arms themselves are ok.

Try the cheap fix first.
