SEAT BELTS:FRONT

Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA LLC
What Happened
The flexible steel cable in your seatbelt is the part that connects the seatbelt to the front seats. In your 2008-2016 V70, XC70, 2007-2016 S80, 2011-2018 S60, 2016-2018 S60 Cross Country, 2014-2020 S60L, 2009-2015 S80L, 2009-2016 XC60, or 2015-2018 V60 Cross Country, this cable can weaken over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the seatbelt might not hold you securely in place during a crash, making serious injury more likely.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty seatbelt anchor cable for both front seats, free of charge. You'll receive a notification with the repair details, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
