DEFECT #2 - SEAT BELTS
Posted on: 2012-10-22
Description
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2002-2013 vhd and vn trucks, manufactured from august 4, 2000, through june 22, 2012, and equipped with bench passenger seats. The seat belt d-ring weld may not be sufficient enough to meet the seat belt pull test. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, seat belt assembly anchorages.
Consequence
In the event of a crash, an insufficient seat belt weld may prevent the seat belt from properly restraining the occupant. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
Corrective Action
Volvo trucks of america will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspected d-ring, free of change. The safety recall began on may 10, 2013. Owners may contact volvo at 1-336-393-2000.
