By Rajkamal

The Volvo XC90 has been recalled due to airbag trouble. Volvo Cars North America is recalling 3,911 2016 model XC90 SUVs.

The reason for this recall is that the third row airbags may not inflate fully, which can cause injuries in case of an accident.

According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "Under inflated airbags may not fully protect third-row occupants, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash."
