What's wrong, in plain English

Some Volvo S60 and V60 vehicles use a flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the front outboard seats. Over time, this cable can weaken and fatigue. If the cable fails, the seat belt will not be able to hold the occupant securely in place if the vehicle is in a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Volvo dealer to schedule the repair; Volvo customer service is at 1-800-458-1552.
3. Dealers will replace the seat belt anchor cable on both front seats, free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 20V378000.
