Details

What's wrong: The rear seats may not have rear seat back lock strikers, allowing the seat back to move forward during certain hard braking conditions or a crash.

Why it matters: If the seat back moves forward during hard braking or in a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.

The fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and install the seat back lock strikers if they are missing, free of charge. The recall began October 12, 2018.
