The 2021 Volvo XC90 has been recalled to fix a problem with the SRS airbag control unit.

    “The SRS control unit may not be tightened to the vehicle’s body correctly,” Volvo said in its recall notice.

    “If this occurs, the airbag system light will illuminate and an error message will appear on the instrument panel.”

    “In the event of an accident, the airbag may not deploy. This could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”

    • A total of 57 cars are included in the recall
    • Affected vehicles were sold between 1 October, 2020 and 31 January, 2021

    Volvo Australia will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
