The 2003 Volvo XC70 has two 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.
The second recall is a compliance issue: the owner's manual omits the required symbol and reference information for the lower child seat anchor system, with no associated safety risk beyond the missing documentation.
At a glance
What can fail
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.
