## What is wrong

Volvo is recalling certain model year 2013 S60 and XC60 vehicles.  A manufacturing defect within the Supplemental Restraint System \(SRS\) control unit may lead to an inadvertent deployment of the seat belt pretensioner and/or inflatable curtain.


## What can happen

If the seat belt pretensioner and/or inflatable side curtain deploy without cause, the driver could be distracted and the driver's visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

These vehicles have not been sold and the SRS control unit will be replaced prior to the cars being sold.  Owners may contact Volvo at 1\-800\-458\-1552.


## Notes

The Volvo recall campaign number is 257. Consumers may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
