Volvo has detected a problem with the airbags in her luxury car XC90 .
Now revoked a total of 10 000 cars in the world.
– Is a risk that the airbags are not triggered as expected, says Stefan Edström, press spokesman for Volvo.
The blog Autoblog reveals that the Volvo instructed its dealers to stop supplying the seven-seat variant of the luxury sedan XC90 model year 2016.
It involves a total of 10 000, of which 900 in Sweden that is now revoked, Aftonbladet first reported.
– It was discovered during a crash tests recently. We will now contact all affected customers and modify their cars for free, says Stefan Edström.
Jason Guidi, North America director of product writes to all merchants in the US and Canada to all seven-seat XC90 available in shops must “be quarantined and not made available for customer delivery” until the fault is corrected, according to Autoblog.
The reason is a problem with the airbag, the so-called side-impact curtain in the path of a panel when the collision protection should be blown up.
This in turn means that passengers in the back of the car is less well protected.
What are the risks for those driving around with error
– There is no risk that the airbag is triggered unnecessarily, but we still choose to withdraw the cars. It is about taking care of all the customers as quickly as possible, says Stefan Elfström at Volvo.
In a statement to the blog announces Volvo that it should not be dangerous to drive the cars. Those who have bought the car, however, will be contacted by Volvo.
The recall now applies to all seven-seat XC90 model year 2016. The luxury car has an entry price of just over SEK 500 000.
