2009–2011 Volvo S40 & 2009–2011 Volvo V50 + 2 more recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
Positioning of the seat beyond the intended maximum CAN cause increased risk of injury to the passenger in the event of a crash.
🔧 The 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].
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
