The problem

Positioning of the seat beyond the intended maximum can cause increased risk of injury to the passenger in the event of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the front power seat stops for both front seats for the presence of an "end stop" and repair the vehicles as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on december 23, 2010. Owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552 or at customercare@volvoforlife.com.
