Volvo Door Latch Assembly - Genuine Volvo 31416686

Product Information

A door latch assembly is the mechanical (and sometimes partially electronic) mechanism inside a vehicle door that secures the door closed and releases it when the handle is pulled. It connects to both the interior and exterior door handles, the door lock mechanism, and sometimes power lock actuators.

The assembly ensures that the door stays shut while driving and allows it to open safely when needed.

• Door Won’t Latch Properly: Door may not fully close or may pop open unexpectedly.
• Door Won’t Open from Inside or Outside: Pulling the handle does not release the latch.
• Loose or Wobbly Door Handle: Handles may feel disconnected or have excessive play.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
