NHTSA Campaign 19V724000

SEAT BELTS

Issued by Volvo Bus Corporation · Reported Oct 9, 2019 · 34 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Volvo 9700 vehicles. The passenger seat belt attachments may not be sufficient to anchor the seat belts and restrain the seat occupants in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Consequence

In the event of a crash, a passenger that does not remain properly restrained has an increased risk of injury.

Remedy

Volvo Bus will notify owners, and dealers will add reinforcement to the passenger seats, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
