AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA, LLC
What Happened
The airbag inflator in your vehicle is a crucial safety device that deploys during a crash to cushion the impact. In your 2001-2006 S80 or 2001-2009 S60, the inflator might fail catastrophically due to extreme humidity and heat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator explodes, sharp metal shards could fly towards you or other passengers, causing serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty airbag inflator with a new one at no cost to you. This repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
