What this recall means for you
On certain 2017 vehicles, a small part called the Micro Gas Generator, located in the right-hand third-row seat belt retractor, may detach after the seat belt pretensioner has fired. The seat belt itself will still work as intended in a crash.
However, if the Micro Gas Generator comes loose, it can become a projectile inside the passenger cabin, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.
The repair is free. Volvo will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the third-row passenger-side seat belt retractor at no cost. You can contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
