Recall 20V-378: Seat Belts
Problem: Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC (Volvo) is recalling certain 2008-2016 V70 and XC70, 2007-2016 S80, 2011-2018 S60 and V60, 2016-2018 S60 Cross Country, 2014-2020 S60L, 2009-2015 S80L, 2009-2016 XC60 and 2015-2018 V60 Cross Country vehicles. The flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the front outboard seating positions may fatigue over time, causing the seat belt to not secure the occupant in the event of a crash.
Risk: An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt anchor cable for both front seats. The recall began December 10, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R10029.
Recall 10V-591: Seats
Problem: Volvo is recalling certain passenger vehicles equipped with power front passenger seats. The front seat rail's detection system was manufactured incorrectly and may permit the passenger to forward the seat beyond the intended maximum.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the front power seat stops for both front seats for the presence of an "end stop" and repair the vehicles as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on december 23, 2010. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552 or at [email protected].
Recall 10V-564: Air Bags
Problem: Volvo is recalling certain model year 2010 xc60 vehicles. The curtain air bags may have been mis-assembled during the manufacturing process. This may cause an air bag to not deploy or not deploy as intended.
Risk: If the curtain air bag does not perform as intended in the event of a vehicle crash necessitating deployment of that air bag, it may not properly protect the occupant, increasing the risk of injuries.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the left and right curtain air bag assembly and adjust if necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 9, 2010. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552 or at [email protected].
Recall 09V-477: Fuel System, Other
Problem: Volvo is recalling model year 2010 xc60 vehicles. The fuel line rail cover that protects the fuel lines under the vehicle may not be properly attached exposing the fuel lines to damage.
Risk: Damage to the fuel lines may result in a fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel line rail cover for proper attachment and reattach if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on december 28, 2009. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
Recall 09V-463: Structure
Problem: Volvo is recalling model year 2010 xc60 vehicles built without the panoramic roof and delivered to puerto rico for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact."
Risk: In the event of a crash the front seat occupants may not have proper protection.
Fix: These four vehicles are in the possession of dealers in puerto rico and dealers will replace the headliner in the vehicle prior to sale.
Recall 09V-445: Seats
Problem: Volvo is recalling model year 2010 xc60 vehicles. The driver's seat side cover panel (Seat control panel) in certain driver's side impacts may release the attachment of the seatbelt to the seat frame.
Risk: Should this condition occur in a crash the seatbelt may fail to properly restrain the occupant increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Dealers will modify the inside of the driver's seat side cover panel free of charge. The recall began on december 22, 2009. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
Recall 09V-343: Electrical System
Problem: Volvo is recalling my 2008-2010 s80, model year 2009-2010 xc70 and model year 2010 xc60 vehicles. Under certain conditions the software within the central electronic module (Cem) may not send a signal to the fuel pump electronic module (Pem). This missing signal to the pem inhibits the start of the fuel pump. The driver may be able to start the engine in spite of the fuel pump not being activated due to residual pressure in the fuel system. In some cases, the driver may be able to drive the vehicle a short distance at idle but then the engine may stall.
Risk: If the vehicle stalls in certain conditions, a crash could occur.
Fix: Dealers will download software to the vehicles' cem free of charge. The recall began on september 30, 2009. Vehicles in dealer's inventory will be repaired prior to delivery. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
