ALLOCATION FOR SEAT BELT RECALL

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

SERVICE INFORMATION

Re: Allocation for Seat Belt Recall 

Reference Bulletin: QB  R10029 

Part # 32341045 (End Fitting) - 2 units per vehicle

Part # 32328849 (Block) - 1 unit per vehicle *ONLYS/V60* 

As a follow up to ongoing efforts to obtain & distribute parts needed for this recall, Volvo has accepted select orders through our Parts Support team for the past several months, and shipped well over one hundred thousand units of the impacted part numbers.

During the upcoming week, Volvo PS&L (Parts Supply & Logistics) will conduct a push allocation to the market based on the location of impacted vehicle populations. This methodology allows Volvo to keep control of the limited quantities received on these part numbers, but also puts a considerable number of these units on Retailer shelves.

Volvo will be pushing orders to Retailers starting Tuesday, March 2, 2021. The orders being pushed to the market will be staggered over a 3 day period (through Thursday, March 4, 2021). Exact distribution quantities will be shared with your Volvo field representatives over the coming days.

In order to prepare for and execute this allocation, no orders will be accepted by Parts Support for these parts beginning today (2/26/21) through the end of next week (3/5/21).

Quantities are limited, and levels of domestic DC inventory are not expected to rise quickly after this push is complete. PS&L will determine if an additional round of allocations is appropriate if/when the stock situation improves. This may take a considerable amount of time, and no estimate can be provided as of this writing.

Volvo PS&L will continue monitoring the remaining inventory and will maintain the order block on these part numbers, as inventory will be in a critical shortage situation for some weeks/months after this allocation is completed.

PS&L also reserves the right to limit any  ordering at any time to ensure the opportunity to stabilize stock levels in the DC network.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this matter.
