Component
SEAT BELTS:FRONT
Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA LLC
What Happened
The flexible steel cable in your front seat belt is what keeps you safely secured in the event of a crash. In certain models, this cable can weaken over time, causing the seat belt to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt fails, you could be thrown around the cabin or even ejected from the vehicle in a crash. This increases your risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will swap out the old, high-wear seat belt cable with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
