Why it matters

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

What the dealer will do

23 April 2021

Transport Canada lists: XC 90 2016–2020

What is wrong

On certain XC90 Excellence models, the rear seat control display may not work properly if the touch screen gets wet. This could cause the front passenger seat to move to the fully rearward position, even after you stop touching it. If the touch screen stays wet, you may not be able to move the seat forward again.

Why it matters

This could result in an injury for rear seat passengers.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the software for rear seat control display.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the Telematics and Driver Support Systems may not function as designed due to a software error. In the event of a crash, this could mean that the Emergency Assist system would not alert Volvo and provide the GPS coordinates of the vehicle. This could create a risk of no response from emergency services.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the crimping of the tube for the Micro Gas Generator (MGG) in the 3rd row passengers side seat belt retractor was not manufactured to specification.

17 February 2017

Transport Canada lists: S 90 2017 · V 90 2017 · XC 90 2017

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 226 - Ejection Mitigation. Due to a manufacturing error in the surface treatment process, the bolts that were used to assemble the inflatable curtain (IC) airbag may not meet specifications. This could result in one or more of the bolts breaking, which in the event of a crash warranting deployment of the IC airbag, could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the affected bolts.

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.

Transport Canada lists: S 90 2017 · XC 90 2016–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the air conditioner drain hose may leak into the passenger compartment due to incorrect installation during the manufacturing process. Over time, an accumulation of moisture in the passenger cabin could affect the SRS system (airbags), engine management systems and/or other systems. This could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash and/or increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the air conditioning drain hose to ensure correct installation and if necessary replace the drain hose.
