Volvo Airbag Recall Summary Volvo is recalling approximately 14,150 vehicles across multiple models (including S90, S60, V90, V60, XC90, and XC60) because certain airbags may not deploy during a collision due to faulty initiators that don't meet safety specifications. This defect increases the risk of injury to occupants in a crash. The manufacturer will replace the affected airbags with properly tested components.
