Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies two safety concerns for the 2012 Volvo XC70. A wire harness beneath the front seats may disconnect when the seat is adjusted, potentially causing front or side-impact airbags to deploy improperly or not at all and preventing the lap-belt pretensioner from deploying. A separate recall involves flexible steel cables that connect the front seat belts; fatigue may leave an occupant unsecured in a crash. Waiting can leave these risks unresolved. A VIN check quickly confirms whether either remedy is open, and an authorized dealer completes the applicable manufacturer repair at no charge to the owner.
