What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the flexible steel cable that attaches the seat belt to the outside of the front seats may weaken over time. As a result, the seat belt could detach.

Why it matters

A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front-outboard seat belt anchors.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seatbelt buckle stud may not have been punched correctly during manufacturing. This may cause a separation between the buckle and the seat belt bracket, which could result in the belt not adequately restraining the seat occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat belt buckle stud, and replace the seatbelt buckle as necessary.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles with an automatic stop-start function, in certain stop and go driving situations, the starter motor fuse may become overloaded (blown fuse). This could lead to the inability to restart the engine following an engine shutdown by the start-stop system, increasing the risk of crash causing injury in a traffic situation.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the starter motor fuse with a higher amperage rated fuse.
