What Happened
The seat belt anchor cable in your vehicle connects the seat belt to the front outboard seats. This cable can weaken over time and break, which means the seat belt won't hold you in place during a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable fails during a crash, you could be thrown around the cabin and be at a higher risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty seat belt anchor cables for both front seats at no cost to you. You should schedule this important repair after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2020 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
