AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer

What Happened
The driver's air bag in your V70 or XC70 is a safety feature that deploys in a crash to cushion your head and chest. Over time, the propellant inside the bag can break down, making it unstable.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator fails, it could explode and send sharp metal fragments flying towards the driver or other passengers, causing severe injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will replace the faulty air bag with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice to ensure your safety on the road.
