NHTSA recall 17V127000

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 began March 31, 2017.
