Volvo Recalls 2017 Models Due to Air Bag Bolt Failure Risk

Volvo is recalling 2017 XC90, S90, and V90 Cross Country vehicles because side air bag bolts may break, causing improper deployment in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bags) where failure results in an increased risk of injury, but no specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Car USA LLC is recalling certain 2017 XC90, S90, and V90 Cross Country vehicles. The recall involves the Inflatable Curtain (IC) air bags, which are secured by bolts that may break. If these bolts fail, the IC air bags may deploy improperly in the event of a crash, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."

The improper deployment of the IC air bags increases the risk of injury to vehicle occupants during a crash. The recall is expected to begin on April 1, 2017. Dealers will inspect and replace the bolts as necessary, free of charge.
