Volvo issues voluntary recall for more than 400,000 vehicles due to air bag defect that could result in passenger injury.
The Volvo automobile logo adorns the grill on one of the company's sedans at a dealership in Beijing, China, Aug. 3, 2010.The recall affects older sedans, including 2001-2009 S60s and 2001-2006 S80s.
According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , the driver's air bag inflator"may explode during deployment," which could result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. There has been at least one death due to the defect, according to the documents.
To remedy the issue, Volvo will contact owners of cars subject to the recall. Dealerships will replace the driver's air bag for free.
