What's wrong?
The passenger seat belt anchor in 2019-2026 Volvo Vah trucks is the metal attachment point that holds the belt to the cab floor. In a crash or hard stop, that anchor has to hold the belt load so the passenger stays restrained in the seat. These trucks were built with a short static passenger toolbox seat, so the floor and anchor hardware are part of the restraint system.
On the recalled trucks, the passenger side floor reinforcement is not strong enough for the seat belt anchor design. Volvo traced the issue to a design error in the strength calculations. Under the required FMVSS 210 seat belt anchorage test load, the anchor can fail instead of staying secured to the floor. The repair uses a new nut and washer combination with more surface area, which helps the anchor meet the test requirement.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat, belt, and anchor can look normal before the anchor fails under load.
