What is wrong

Volvo is recalling certain passenger vehicles equipped with power front passenger seats. The front seat rail's detection system was manufactured incorrectly and may permit the passenger to forward the seat beyond the intended maximum.

The risk

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-[removed] or at [removed]
