SEAT BELTS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2015-2024 XC90 vehicles. The second-row seat belt buckle and lower belt anchor bolts may not be tightened properly.
- What it can cause
- An improperly tightened seat belt buckle may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing their risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the second-row seat belt buckle anchorage bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 19, 2024. Owners may contact Volvo Car customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Car's number for this recall is R10259.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 2,911 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 12 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V682000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 9 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 528 complaints with NHTSA, 245 of them before this campaign was filed. 14 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2015, 8 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V908000 (back over prevention), 25V282000 (back over prevention), 25V179000 (electrical system), 23V188000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Car USA, LLC with NHTSA on December 7, 2023 as campaign 23V827000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
