Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

What the ministry says is wrong

運転者席及び助手席のシートヒーター機構において、座面に組み込まれたサーモスタット の取り付け方法が不適切なため、座面の温度が設定温度以上に上昇することがあり、内部 の熱線が硬化して損傷し、最悪の場合、損傷部分が過熱して座面の一部が焦げるおそれが ある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、運転者席及び助手席のサーモスタットを、対策品と交換するとともに、熱線やシ ート生地に損傷のあるものは、良品と交換する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website (出典:国土交通省ウェブサイト), used under the Public Data License 1.0. This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

The Japanese register on this site

ボルボ elsewhere in this register

ボルボ is named on 203 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: その他(電気装置)

202 notices in this register name その他(電気装置). A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Volvo: 207 in the register, and 220 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2002.
