Seats and restraints
2020-06-30 · campaign 2020-298
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the flexible steel cable that attaches the seat belt to the outside of the front seats may weaken over time. As a result, the seat belt could detach.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.
Corrective Action:
Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front-outboard seat belt anchors.
Lights and instruments
2013-11-26 · campaign 2013-419
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 - Controls and Displays. The oil pressure sensor is not activated in the original factory downloaded software. As a result, no oil pressure information would be indicated to the driver in the instrument cluster. Correction: Dealers will update software.
Label
2011-11-04 · campaign 2011-388 · 11 vehicles
On certain vehicles equipped with a dealer-installed optional accessory spare tire and wheel kit, the Tire and Loading Information label may not contain correct information. Since the vehicle was originally fitted (by the factory) with a tire inflation kit, the label indicates “none” as the spare tire designation, instead of spare tire size and inflation pressure information. Correction: Dealers will replace the Tire and Loading Information label.
Seats and restraints
2010-11-23 · campaign 2010-423
On certain vehicles equipped with power front passenger seats, the "end stops" on the seat frame rails may be missing. If the end stops are missing, the maximum allowable seat travel may be exceeded, resulting in an increased injury risk for out of position occupants in the event of a frontal collision. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front seat rails for the presence of an "end stop", and install one if necessary.
Engine
2010-11-18 · campaign 2010-416
On certain vehicles, the engine and transmission software calibration is too sensitive. When the driver brakes during city driving, and/or releases the accelerator pedal, the engine idle speed may drop resulting in a sudden engine stall without any prior warning. Engine stalling could, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions and driver's reactions, increase the risk of a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will update ECM and TCM software.
