NHTSA recall 16V918000
Air Bags · Volvo Car USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have driver and front passenger seat side mounted side air bags (sab) with inflator initiators that may fail to ignite during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection" and number 214, "side impact protection."
Why it matters: If the air bag inflator initiator fails to ignite, the air bag will not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front seat side air bags, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on February 13, 2017.
