Just came across this story on CTV News here in Canada where a family from Ontario's XC70 driver's side seat heater burned through the leather. Here's the Cole's Notes:
Car is a 2004 XC70
Seat Heater burned through the leather at the driver's side rear base of the element
Volvo Canada is paying for seat replacement and $200 to pay for clothing damage
They have had zero reports of issues on 2005+ models
