SEAT BELTS:FRONT

Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA LLC
What Happened
The flexible steel cable in your seat belt system is the part that connects the seat belt to the front seats. Over time, this cable can weaken and break, causing the seat belt to fail to secure you properly in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable breaks, you could be thrown around the cabin or ejected from the vehicle during a crash, which increases your risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty cable with a new one for both front seats at no cost to you. You'll receive notification, and then schedule the repair as soon as possible.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Manufacturer
Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC
What Happened
The starter motor fuse is a crucial part of your car's electrical system. It helps your car start when you turn the key. In some 2016 Volvo models made between April and August 2015, this fuse might not work properly.

If the fuse blows unexpectedly while you're driving, you might get stuck in traffic with a dead car. This could make it hard to get moving again, and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the starter motor fuse with a stronger one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
