Official summary

Volvo Car USA LLC and Volvo Car Canada LTD (Volvo) on behalf of Volvo Car Group has decided to launch Recall R89708 on certain model year 2016 - 2017 XC90, S90, XC60, V60CC, V60, S60, S60CC, S60 Inscription vehicles. The affected vehicles may have not had the front passenger seatbelt buckle stud punched correctly. This may result in a separation between the buckle and the seat belt bracket. If this were to occur, it could increase the risk of injury to a front passenger seat occupant in a vehicle crash.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
