The short version

Volvo Trucks North America reported a problem with the seat belts. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The seat belt d-ring weld may not be sufficient enough to meet the seat belt pull test. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.

WHY IT MATTERS

In the event of a crash, an insufficient seat belt weld may prevent the seat belt from properly restraining the occupant. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

WHAT TO DO

Volvo Trucks of America will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspected d-ring, free of change.
