Volvo Recalls Multiple Models Due to Front Seat Belt Cable Fatigue

Volvo is recalling specific 2007-2020 models because a front seat belt cable may fatigue and fail to secure occupants during a crash.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat belt failure) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Car USA LLC is recalling certain 2007-2020 Volvo vehicles, including the V70, V60, S60L, S80L, XC60, S80, XC70, V60 Cross Country, S60 Cross Country, and S60. The recall involves approximately 308,260 vehicles.

The defect involves the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the front outboard seating positions. This cable may fatigue over time, which could cause the seat belt to not secure the occupant in the event of a crash. An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in a crash.

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt anchor cable for both front seats. The recall began on December 10, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
