Volvo is recalling 2017 XC90 vehicles because a seat belt component may detach and become a projectile, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Car USA LLC is recalling certain 2017 XC90 vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the Micro Gas Generator (MGG), a subcomponent used within the right-hand side seat belt retractor for the third row seats. This part may detach after the seatbelt retractor pretensioner is deployed.

Although the seat belt will operate as intended in the event of a crash, the detachment of the MGG may cause it to become a projectile within the vehicle cabin, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the third row passenger's side seatbelt retractor free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
