Recall 20V-378: Seat Belts

Reported Jun 30, 2020 · 308,260 vehicles affected · Volvo Car USA LLC

Problem: Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC (Volvo) is recalling certain 2008-2016 V70 and XC70, 2007-2016 S80, 2011-2018 S60 and V60, 2016-2018 S60 Cross Country, 2014-2020 S60L, 2009-2015 S80L, 2009-2016 XC60 and 2015-2018 V60 Cross Country vehicles. The flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the front outboard seating positions may fatigue over time, causing the seat belt to not secure the occupant in the event of a crash.

Risk: An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt anchor cable for both front seats. The recall began December 10, 2020. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R10029.

Risk: Malfunctioning head lamps and/or turn signals increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the CEM software, free of charge. The recall began on October 3, 2013. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Back Over Prevention · reported Apr 17, 2026

The backup camera image flickers or does not appear at all (blue screen). This is a known design defect that Volvo will repair by installing what they call an equalizer in the camera harness. It is not a replacement of an existing part, it is a part they add. The cost is several hundred dollars for something that should be a recall. A search on the internet will return results showing many others having this exact same problem. This has been occuring and getting worse for the past 8 years.

Visibility/Wiper · reported Aug 11, 2024

When I purchased my 2014 Volvo XC 60 I was told that it was in good overall condition and believe that after driving it for the vehicle in full and brought it back because it needed a current inspection. Within four days of taking it home after the inspection, the PCV valve went bad and I had a minor leak in the middle center top of the windshield that dripped in and left watermarks on my headliner. So again I called the dealer and explained to them what was going on. I took it back they corrected the PCV valve and said that they had my windshield Repaired and sealed by a professional…

Seat Belts · reported Mar 1, 2021

I have received two recall notices for defective driver and front passenger seat belt fasteners (Nhtsa recall 20v-378). The notices are dated 29 aug 2020 and 9 dec 2020. I have called the local volvo dealer repeatedly to schedule for completion of this recall. Each time they say they do not have the parts and apologize. In the meanwhile, the risk of the seat belt failing persists. More than six months have passed since the initial notice which I consider to be an excessive period of time. What can be done to expedite the completion of this recall? Any advice you can provide, or actions you…

Service Brakes · at 87,031 miles · reported Jan 9, 2020

I purchased this vehicle a week ago, I used the emergency brake which I use when I park in my driveway because it's slanted. Well after the first time I disengaged it went to drive and heard a weird noise when coming to a stop which only got worse. I brought it back to the dealer to find out that the e-brake never fully disengaged on the right side only. I was able to get the entire assembly replaced but now I'm not comfortable using the e brake at all out of fear it will destroy another assembly. Also since I got it back I have noticed weird electrical issues like all my 12v sockets are out…

Electrical System · at 92,000 miles · reported Aug 19, 2019

Electronic instrument cluster failure rendered vehicle speed and other characteristics inoperable. There is no backup analog cluster in this vehicle, so there was no way to determine vehicle speed.
