The 2004 Volvo V70 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver's airbag inflator that can explode during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
On the chassis side, the front lower control arms may lose tension at the stud and nut that connect them to the spindle, and in the worst case the control arm can separate entirely, causing sudden loss of steering control. There is also an engine concern: a faulty fuel pressure sensor can send incorrect readings to the engine's computer, causing misfires and a potential stall without warning while driving.

The driver's air bag inflator can explode when deploying. This happens because the propellant degrades after long-term exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and repeated temperature changes.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the driver's air bag at no cost to you.
