Volvo recalls 2 million cars over seat belt fatigue

The recall affects 2,183,701 cars globally, and the cars will be fitted with a new component in place of the faulty wire. – EPA pic, July 1, 2020.

CHINESE-OWNED Swedish automaker Volvo Cars said today it was recalling nearly 2.2 million cars globally over an issue related to the effectiveness of the seat belts. The issue with the cars relates to a steel cable connected to the front seat belts, which under certain conditions “over time suffer from fatigue”, eventually damaging the cable, “resulting in reduced seat belt restraint function”.
