The 2001 Volvo S60 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver's airbag inflator that can explode during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and causing serious injury or death.
Two of the three recalls involve the driver's airbag inflator. Long-term exposure to heat and humidity can degrade the inflator's propellant, causing it to rupture rather than deploy normally. The third recall applies only to vehicles originally sold or registered in Arizona and Nevada, where local fuel conditions can cause the fuel pump to leak, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is nearby.
