What is wrong
ALPS ELECTRIC HAS REPORTED THAT CERTAIN AIR BAG CLOCKSPRINGS IT MANUFACTURED AND IT SOLD TO VOLVO CARS AND JAGUAR LAND ROVER AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR USE IN THEIR VEHICLE PRODUCTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE MAY BE AN INTERMITTENT FAULT IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING CONNECTOR FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED OR AT ALL, AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ALPS ELECTRIC IS NOT CONDUCTING A RECALL CAMPAIGN. VOLVO CARS AND JAGUAR LAND ROVER ARE EACH CONDUCTING A RECALL CAMPAIGN ON THEIR RESPECTIVE VEHICLES ON WHICH THE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT WAS INSTALLED.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
