Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have front seats whose wiring harness for the side impact protection system (sips) may have been routed incorrectly.

Why it matters: If the wiring harness is routed incorrectly, the wiring may be damaged, disabling the front seat side impact air bag, and increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front seat side impact air bag.

The fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the routing of the sips wiring, correcting the routing and installing a protective sleeve as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 30, 2015.
