What is being recalled
Volvo Car USA LLC (Volvo) is recalling certain 2017 XC90, S90, and V90 Cross Country vehicles. The bolts that secure the Inflatable Curtain (IC) air bags in place may break, possibly resulting in the IC air bag deploying improperly in the event of a crash. As, such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
Why it is dangerous
If the IC air bags do not deploy properly in the event of a crash, the vehicle occupants have an increased risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the bolts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 1, 2017. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R89714.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 17V-104 when calling a dealer.
