What owners wrote
Volvo s60r seat issue. Turned seat heater on, felt very warm sensation on my left hip/leg after a few minutes. Turned seat heater off and got out of car to check what was happening. Seat heater burned through the leather and also my jeans. Is there a recall/fix? Seems extremely dangerous.
