Volvo XC90 recalled in Europe and US

The all new premium SUV from Volvo - XC 90 has been recalled in some international markets due to a potential issue with an electronic wire harness. This wiring harness is present in the front seats and it controls the restraints system in the car.

An improper wiring assembly could result in a damaged wiring harness, which would display a warning message on the instrument cluster of the car. Frontal airbags too may be affected due to this and may not perform appropriately. Volvo claims that no incidents have been reported and neither is there a risk of the side airbags being deployed by mistake.

Approximately 200 units of the XC 90 in Europe and the United States have been affected (majority of them being in Sweden). Customers will be contacted by the company to get their cars inspected at their nearest workshop.

The XC 90 has been recently launched in India with deliveries of the SUV likely to begin only in September 2015. Click here to read our launch report.
