- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 16V798000
- Manufacturer's number: R89708
- Manufacturer: Volvo Car USA LLC

## What is wrong

Volvo Car USA LLC \(Volvo\) is recalling certain model year 2016\-2017 XC90, S90, XC60, V60 Cross Country, V60, S60 Cross Country, S60, and S60 Inscription vehicles manufactured February 16, 2015, to August 22, 2016.  On the affected vehicles, the front passenger seat belt buckle attaching stud may loosen, allowing the buckle to separate from the seat belt bracket.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages" and number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."


## What can happen

If the seat belt buckle separates from the bracket, the front seat passenger may not be adequately restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front passenger seat belt buckle stud, replacing the seat belt buckle as needed, free of charge. The recall began January 2017.  Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1\-800\-458\-1552.  Volvo's number for this recall is R89708.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
