VOLVO XC60 Recall for seatbelt failure

NATIONAL – In the “Wheels” blog at the New York Times (11/17), Cheryl Jensen wrote, “Volvo is recalling 9,667 of its 2010 XC60s, most of them in the United States and Canada because in a crash test the driver’s seat belt came undone.”

James Hope, “a Volvo spokesman, said there were no reports that this had happened before and it never happened in any of the about 50 side-impact tests conducted at the Volvo Safety Center in Gothenberg, Sweden.”
