What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened

The airbag inflator in your S80 or S60 is the part that rapidly fills the airbag during a crash to help protect you. In older models, the inflator can degrade over time, especially in humid and hot conditions.

Risk if Unfixed

If the inflator fails and explodes during a crash, sharp metal fragments could fly into the driver's face or body, leading to severe injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed
