SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WARNING LIGHT/DEVICES
- The defect
- Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2025-2026 EX30 and 2026 EX30CC vehicles. The seat belt warning system may not activate the audible warning chime as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- An audible warning chime that does not properly alert of an unbelted seat belt can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the terminals at the audio module connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 26, 2026. Owners may contact Volvo Car’s customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Car’s number for this recall is R10365. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on March 13, 2026.
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 1,584 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 15 times before this, most recently in November 2025 as 25V753000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2025, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V103000 (electrical system), 26V001000 (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 March 11, 2026 as campaign 26V136000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
