Being too close to the exploding airbag is dangerous.
Volvo Cars of North America is recalling thousands of 2009-2011 S40, V50, S60, XC60 Models in the Untied States because the Johnson Controls supplied seats are unsafe.
Volvo says a manufacturing safety defect may permit the passenger to move the seat forward too far, which can cause increased risk of injury to the passenger in the event of a crash. Volvo dealers will examine the front, passenger-side seat rails for the presence of an “end stop.” Repairs will be made without charge as is required by U.S. law.
