If you're using the repo from virtualbox.org*, type

   sudo /sbin/service vboxdrv setup

It will use DKMS to remove the virtual box drivers, recompile them for
the new kernel, and install them into the active kernel modules.

* This may apply to the Fedora repos but I'm not sure. I'm using the one
from virtualbox.org. See https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
and scroll down to RPM-based Linux distributions
