Volvo Recalls 74K New Vehicles Over Seatbelt Issue
Volvo is calling back more than 74,000 vehicles over an issue with seatbelts.
The Swedish brand is calling back the S60, S90, V60, XC60 and XC90, all from the 2016 and 2017 model years. The issue is a connecting pin in the passenger seatbelt buckle which can malfunction and cause the belt to work inadequately in a crash.
A Volvo spokesman told Automotive News that the recall is “mainly precautionary.” So far, no injuries have been reported as a result of this issue.
Volvo says that the fix for the recall will be handled in a matter of minutes by any Volvo dealer.
