The problem
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2010 xc60 vehicles. The curtain air bags May have been mis-assembled during the manufacturing process. This May cause an air bag to not deploy or not deploy as intended.
The risk
If the curtain air bag does not perform as intended in the event of a vehicle crash necessitating deployment of that air bag, it May not properly protect the occupant, increasing the risk of injuries.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the left and right curtain air bag assembly and adjust if necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on December 9, 2010. Owners May contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552 or at customercare@volvoforlife.com.
