What this recall means for you
Certain 2017 Volvo S60, S60 Cross Country, V60, V60 Cross Country, and XC60 vehicles have driver and front passenger seat-mounted side air bags whose inflator initiators may fail to ignite during a crash. The vehicles also do not meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection and side impact protection.
If the air bag inflator initiator fails to ignite, the side air bag will not deploy, which increases the risk of injury to occupants in a crash. This recall expands an earlier recall, 16V-918.
Volvo will notify owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the front seat side air bags and replace them if necessary, at no cost to the owner. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
