Volvo has recalled 460,769 vehicles from its older models worldwide because of defective airbags. These could prove fatal in the case of an accident.
This happens when an accident causes the airbag to activate. According to the company, fragments of the inflator within the airbag may project out into the sky and strike you. This could lead to serious injury or even death.
