SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2026 Volvo XC90MHEV, XC60MHEV, V90CCMHEV, and V60CCMHEV vehicles. The torsion bar in the front seat belt retractors may have been damaged during production.
I turned on my brand new 2026 Volvo XC 90 and none of the cameras worked. I hard reset it three times and it still didnât work. The message on the screen said âCamera view is temporarily unavailable. Press home button to close.â This is the second issue with the vehicle. First was apple car play, now, itâs the camera system.
