What Happened
Your front passenger seat's stop mechanism was made incorrectly and might let you slide the seat too far forward.
Risk if Unfixed
If you move the seat past its safe limit and get in a crash, you could get hurt more easily because the seat won't be positioned to protect you as it should.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will check the seat's stops on both front seats and fix them if needed – at no cost to you. Just schedule the repair when you get your recall notice.
