Volvo XC70: Airbag

Affects Volvo XC70 · 2008 — about 934 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, incorrect software was programmed into the Safety Restraint System (SRS) control module. As a result, the inflatable curtain and side impact airbag may not deploy as intended. A late activation of the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) can result in an increased risk of injury to an occupant during a crash. The incorrect SRS module software may also cause the SRS warning lamp to illuminate and the message "SRS Airbag - Service Urgent" to be displayed. Correction: Dealers will update the SRS control module software.
