Volvo has identified if the airbag 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. The corrective action is to replace the Driver Airbag. A total of 259,383 U.S. vehicles are eligible for this recall. S80 Model Year 2001 Parts are NOT available at this time. PARTS RETURN PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE. It is imperative that NO AIRBAGS ARE DETONATED/DEPLOYED once removed from the vehicle. VIDA may instruct the technicians to do so but detonating the airbag should not be done. Defective parts will be required to be sent back to Volvo for disposal. Page 2 of 2 2021-10-22 Parts Bulletin 88-R10125 NOTE: Please refer to the separate document with specific RETURN PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to SMB 88-010 and Parts Bulletin 88-010.

Vincent D’Auria Senior Manager Product, Safety & Compliance – Regulatory & Compliance September 30, 2021 TO: All U.S. Volvo Retailers NEW VEHICLES IN RETAILER INVENTORY It is a violation of federal law for a retailer to deliver any new Volvo that is eligible for a recall. Retailers are advised to check all vehicles in inventory for recall eligibility and repair immediately. Violation of this requirement by a retailer could result in a civil penalty of up to $22,723 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery. USED VEHICLES IN RETAILER INVENTORY VCUSA is ordering the stop-delivery of affected vehicles in VCUSA, auction and dealer inventory until the recalled item can be repaired. Stopping the delivery of affected used vehicles until the recall is complete is consistent with Volvo’s commitment to safety. Additionally, while Federal law does not prohibit the sale of used vehicles with open recalls, the sale of such cars could violate certain state laws and create liability on behalf of the retailer. What does this mean for customers? Customers will not be able to take delivery of affected vehicles until the recall has been completed. What is the reason for this notification? Volvo Car USA LLC on behalf of Volvo Car Corporation, has decided to launch Recall R10125 on certain S60 Series MY 2001-2009 and S80 Series MY 2001-2006 vehicles. Volvo has identified if the airbag 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. The corrective action is to replace the Driver Airbag. A total of 259,383 U.S. vehicles are eligible for this recall. PARTS AVAILABILITY PARTS RETURN PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE. NOTE: S60’s have always been factory equipped with charcoal-gray airbags and will be replaced with same color charcoal-gray. S80 replacement airbags will only be supplied in charcoal-gray.
