The Swedish automaker Volvo Cars, owned by the Chinese Geely, recalls nearly 2.2 million vehicles worldwide, including 40,000 in Switzerland, to resolve a seat belt problem on ten of its models.
Affected are the S60, S60L, S60CC, V60, V60CC, V70, XC70, S80 and S80L as well as its luxurious SUV XC60 – all produced between 2006 and 2019 – the group said in a press release to AFP.
Some 90,000 cars are also recalled in Belgium.
The problem, explains Volvo, is linked to a steel cable connected to the front seat belts which, in certain “rare” cases – and depending on the behavior of the user – can wear out over time, warns the manufacturer. .
No accident
“This could eventually cause damage to the cable, resulting in a reduction in the seatbelt restraint function,” he explains.
According to Volvo, no accident related to this anomaly has been identified.
The group sent a letter to all affected customers asking them to contact their Volvo dealer.
Acquired from the American Ford in 2010 by the Chinese manufacturer Geely, Volvo Cars has dramatically improved its accounts and its brand image. He also bet on autonomous cars, where he is one of the most advanced today.
