The seat belt cable in your vehicle is a crucial part that connects the seat belt to the seat. Over time, it can weaken and break, keeping you from being properly secured in the event of a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt cable fails, you could be thrown around the cabin or even ejected from the vehicle during a crash, which could lead to serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the seat belt cable with a stronger, more reliable one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.

The clockspring wiring connector is a critical part of your airbag system. It helps connect the wires that deploy the driver's frontal airbag. In some 2010-2011 Volvo models, this connector can develop an intermittent fault.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash and your airbag doesn't deploy as intended, you won't have the protection it's meant to provide. This could lead to serious injuries.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will install a metal shim in the faulty connector to fix the problem – and this repair is completely free. You should schedule it as soon as possible.
