Volvo found that a flexible steel cable connected to the seat belts on the outboard side of the front seats may fatigue and separate from the belt itself, resulting in the seat belt not working.
In the event of a crash, there becomes an increased risk of serious injury or death if the occupant is not correctly restrained.
Volvo will begin contacting affected owners in writing, but there is a catch: the Swedish automaker does not expect replacement parts to arrive until after October 2020.
