What this recall means for you
Some 2017 Volvo vehicles have inflatable curtain airbag mounting bolts that may break. If the bolts fail, the side curtain airbags may not deploy properly in a crash, which increases the risk of injury to occupants and means the vehicle no longer meets federal ejection mitigation safety requirements.
Volvo will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace the bolts as needed at no cost to you. The recall was expected to begin April 1, 2017. To check whether your vehicle is included, enter your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup or contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552, referencing recall number R89714.
