The cable connecting the seat belt to the front seats in your vehicle is a critical safety component. Over time, it can weaken and fail, which could cause the seat belt to not secure you properly in an accident.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt cable fails, you could be thrown from your seat or injured more severely in a crash. Your safety is at risk because the seat belt won't do its job of keeping you secure.
Free Fix
Volvo will replace the faulty seat belt cable for both front seats at no cost to you, and you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
