What Happened
Your vehicle's front passenger seat has a system that keeps the seat from moving too far forward. However, this system was made incorrectly, so it might not work as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat can move too far forward, you could get injured in a crash because you won't have enough protection from the dashboard or airbag.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will check the seat stops on both front seats to make sure they're working properly, and fix them if they're not - all for free. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible.
