## What is wrong

Volvo Cars of North America, LLC \(Volvo\) is recalling certain model year 2016\-2017 Volvo XC90 and S90 vehicles manufactured   April 15, 2015 through September 19, 2016.  In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning may leak into the passenger compartment due to a drain hose installation error during manufacturing.


## What can happen

Significant water drainage into the passenger compartment may adversely affect air bag deployment in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.


## The remedy

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air conditioning drain hose for proper installation, replacing the hose as necessary, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin on November the 14, 2016.  Owners may contact Volvo at 1\-800\-458\-1552.  Volvo's number for this campaign is R89707.
