More than 1,000 XC90s will be recalled across the US.
Volvo has always been proud of producing some of world’s safest cars on the road, including the Volvo XC90 with a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and an IIHS Top Safety Pick award. However, the car is still subject to the occasional safety recall.

According to NHTSA, the cause for this recall is related to a micro gas generator (MGG), a small component part used within the right-hand-side seat belt retractor for the third-row seats. This subcomponent might come lose and become a projectile during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
