## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2011124](/recalls/tc/2011124.md), 2011-03-18: Structure. On certain vehicles, the passenger\-side support member \(in the engine compartment\) may have been manufactured incorrectly.  As such, the frame member may have developed a crack during the forming process.  This could have an effect on the front structure, reducing crash performance of the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of occupant injury during a crash.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the passenger\-side support member.  If a crack is found, Volvo will take the vehicle out of service and replace it with a new one of equal specification.
- [2010423](/recalls/tc/2010423.md), 2010-11-23: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles equipped with power front passenger seats, the "end stops" on the seat frame rails may be missing.  If the end stops are missing, the maximum allowable seat travel may be exceeded, resulting in an increased injury risk for out of position occupants in the event of a frontal collision.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the front seat rails for the presence of an "end stop", and install one if necessary.
