Vehicles Affected: An unknown number of model-year 2016 versions of the Volvo XC90 three-row SUV; Volvo told Cars.com that the volume of vehicles affected has not yet been determined.
The Problem: Volvo is reporting that a trim panel could interfere with the deployment of the side curtain airbag, affecting third-row coverage. This increases the risk of injury in an accident, though the automaker says there have been no incidents or accidents related to this issue. This is unrelated to a previous Volvo XC90 airbag recall.
The Fix: Volvo will modify the design of the panel surrounding the airbag curtain to ensure the airbag inflates as intended; dealers will install the fix for free.
What Owners Should Do: Volvo has not yet released an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Volvo at 800-458-1552 for more information.
