What’s wrong with it?
A door that is not securely latched can open unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury.
Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2017 S60L vehicles.
A component within the door latch may break, preventing the door from latching properly.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 206, “Door Locks and Door Retention Components.”
