SEAT BELTS:FRONT

Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA LLC
What Happened
The flexible steel cable in your front seat belts is a crucial part that connects the seat belt to the car's structure. Over time, this cable can weaken and break, which means the seat belt won't keep you secure in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable fails, you could be thrown around or ejected from the vehicle in a crash, which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the seat belt anchor cable for both front seats at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA LLC
What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If a door isn't properly closed, it could swing open while you're driving, putting you or a passenger at risk of injury.

Your Volvo dealer will replace all four door latches with new ones, at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification from Volvo, and you should schedule the repair right away.
