SEAT BELTS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
An improperly tightened seat belt buckle may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing their risk of injury during a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 117 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An improperly tightened seat belt buckle may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing their risk of injury during a crash.
The rear passenger may become trapped by the front seat without the ability to cancel the seat's movement, increasing the risk of injury.
If the GPS location is not provided to emergency personnel it can inhibit emergency response in the event of a crash or injury.
Although, the seat belt will operate as intended in the event of a crash, if the MGG detaches, it may be a projectile within the vehicle cabin, increasing the risk of injury.
If the IC air bags do not deploy properly in the event of a crash, the vehicle occupants have an increased risk of injury.
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.
Two 2017 VOLVO XC90s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
