I made appointments for this Friday to have both of my V70's driver airbags replaced under safety recall per a heads up from Abscate.
More airbag recall details, plz?

I wiped new in 2017, still looks good.

Did you run your VIN on the Volvo website? There maybe other recalls that apply.
Volvo has 17 plants. 14 of 17 makes cars that could end up in Canada.
A bad batch of parts might end up in certain markets only.

It is the air bag recall in 2020 that effects the S60 & S80. That one is NHTSA campaign number: 20V681 (PDF) .

The new one is NHTSA campaign number: 21V800 ( PDF ). It is for the 2001 - 2007 V/XC70. The VIN range is not sequential.

In short they degenerate into a more powerful bomb. Same physics as a Grain Silo explosion. Smaller particles burn faster then large particles. That increases the expansion rate. Power = Work / Time.

"Volvo has identified, if the air bag inflator propellant tablets are subjected to elevated
moisture levels and frequent high inflator temperatures, the tablets can start to decay
and form dust particles. This localization of moisture leads to volumetric changes of
the tablets surface creating dust over time. Dust increases burn surface area and
thereby burn rate. Higher burn rate can result in higher combustion chamber
pressure and risk of inflator rupture. This condition could render the driver to be
struck by fragments of metal from the inflator. Total of 194,546 vehicles. "

Probably the exclude Canada due to climate. Eventually, it will probably be included.

Counselor - GKN is a good boot brand, FCP of course. You can pack and cover it with some tape if the grease isnt too sprayed alll around yet.

My MA XC70 is excluded as well. Funny, they expanded recall to all S60 and S80 earlier this month, but not for wagons.

For tripod use grease VW G052186A3, FCP has it. The one coming with GKN boot kit is not compatible with tripod joints.

Probably figured any country that builds roads out of ice is not going to lose sleep over a bomb in the dash. :wink:
