That last year's accident which resulted in one motorist fatality leads to the recall of a little over 54,000 Volvos.
Volvo and the NHTSA investigated the situation in a timely fashion. The recall is towards the 2001-2003 model year Volvo S80 and S60.
The problem is that in time, the heat and humidity along with the decay and dust they produce increase pressure in the airbag inflator’s combustion chamber.
It’s a dangerous issue because it can cause fragments of the inflator to shoot outwards during airbag deployment. High-speed shrapnel fragments are the last thing you want to come flying out of your airbag when they’re supposed to save your life.
