What Happened
The driver's air bag in your Volvo is the part that deploys to protect you in a crash. In some 2001-2009 S60 and 2001-2006 S80 models, the air bag's inflator can explode if it's exposed to high humidity and heat for a long time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator explodes, it could send sharp metal fragments flying into you or other passengers, causing serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty air bag with a new one, for free. Just schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice, and they'll take care of it at no cost to you.
