2002 Volvo S60

The 2002 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 raising the risk of serious injury or death.

This airbag inflator defect is a Takata-related issue affecting vehicles with long-term exposure to high heat and humidity, and it is the subject of two separate filings: one covering vehicles registered anywhere in the country, and a second targeting vehicles registered or ever sold in high-humidity states and territories including Florida, Texas, Hawaii, and several others across the South. Both describe the same underlying danger, where the inflator's propellant degrades over time and can rupture the metal housing violently rather than deploying the bag normally. The third recall is a compliance matter with no safety consequence: the tire pressure label on certain vehicles is missing the maximum load vehicle capacity weight information, which is a labeling requirement under federal tire selection standards.
