Seat Belt weld/FMVSS 210

NHTSA #12V510000 · Seat Belts · NHTSA notice

Reported October 18, 2012 · Volvo Trucks North America

Potentially affected: 1,496 vehicles

Volvo campaign RVXX1204 · Owners notified May 10, 2013 · Vehicles built August 4, 2000 – June 22, 2012 (per NHTSA)

Defect 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."

Safety 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.

Manufacturer remedy

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.
