Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants

NHTSA recall information identifies concerns involving an incorrect tire label, a front-seat wire harness, and flexible front seat-belt anchor cables. Incorrect tire information could contribute to improper inflation and tire failure, while a loose harness could affect airbag or lap-belt pretensioner operation during a crash. A fatigued anchor cable could leave an occupant unsecured. Waiting to verify an open recall can prolong exposure to these safety risks. Park Place Volvo can check your VIN and explain whether the manufacturer remedy applies, giving you a clear and reassuring next step.
