JAKARTA - The problem is being faced by an automotive company from Sweden, Volvo, which is known to have a problem with one of its models, namely XC90 in Australia.

The problematic model is production from 2015 to 2023 so a recall program must be carried out.

Reporting from Drive, Sunday, January 7, the trigger for the recall occurred because there was an error in the seat belt system on the second row so that it would be released in the event of an accident. Thus, the potential for injury and death in passengers is quite high.

The Infrastructure Department said seat belts in the second row and the bottom screws could slack off, so the system could not work as it should.

"If a collision occurs if the seat belt does not function properly, the seat passenger may not receive full protection from the seat belt system and this could increase the risk of injury or death in vehicle passengers," the local Infrastructure Department said.

It is reported that 115 units of Volvo XC90 were affected by this problem. After that, the company will contact the owners of the affected vehicles and urge them to take their cars to the nearest dealer network.

Thus, Volvo will immediately repair the vehicle and promise owners no need to pay for the repair. The company has yet to find any cases of injury or death caused by this problem.
