What's wrong?
The front seat belt retractor in the 2026 Volvo V60CCMHEV, V90CCMHEV, XC60MHEV, and Redundant XC90MHEV is the unit that winds and controls the shoulder belt. Inside that retractor, a torsion bar helps manage belt force during a severe crash so the belt can restrain the occupant while allowing controlled movement.
On affected vehicles, the torsion bar in the right front seat belt retractor was damaged during supplier production. Parts-feeding equipment jammed, and that jam damaged torsion bars before the parts reached Volvo vehicle production. A damaged torsion bar does not provide the same controlled restraint behavior as the correct part.
Before a crash, an owner should not expect a dashboard light, sound, or normal driving symptom from this defect. There is no warning sign before failure. If the torsion bar fails in a crash severe enough to load the belt, the shoulder belt can spool out without proper control.
Who's affected?
The model list spans four 2026 Volvo nameplates, all tied to the right hand front seat belt retractor component.

What's the safety risk?
A damaged front seat belt retractor can allow uncontrolled shoulder belt spool-out in a crash. That means the belt would not properly restrain an occupant, increasing injury risk. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall work when Volvo makes it available. Repair will be free at any franchised Volvo dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Volvo V60CCMHEV, V90CCMHEV, XC60MHEV, or Redundant XC90MHEV is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer if your VIN is included and ask about the free front seat belt retractor replacement.
- Schedule the front seat belt retractor replacement that fixes the damaged torsion-bar issue in the seat belt retractors.
- Bring the recall notice if Volvo mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V589 when you call.
- Drive with extra caution until the repair is complete, since a damaged retractor can fail to properly restrain an occupant in a crash.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician will replace both front seat belt retractors. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. If you've already paid for a related front seat belt retractor repair before receiving the owner letter, contact Volvo Customer Support and reference recall action R10340 to ask about reimbursement. Keep repair documentation available for that claim.
