Received an airbag recall. There is no local dealer but there are authorized non-dealer service shops that do replace airbags. Under the recall a Volvo dealer must do the replacement. The nearest Volvo dealer is 300 miles away. Volvo will only reimburse for 25 miles of towing. The recall states "if you are unable to have this procedure performed without charge. . . . ". Towing cost would be approximately $800. 00. How do I, and several others in my area, resolve this issue?.
I was notified of the recall. Because I live 300 miles away from the nearest Volvo dealership, there is no option for me to replace the airbag free of charge. Additionally, there is no plan in place to provide me with a safe vehicle until such a time that my Volvo can be repaired. Until I undertake a great risk by traveling 300 miles at great inconvenience and expense, to have this problem resolved, I am expected to take a daily risk by driving this unsafe vehicle.
Been trying to get the airbags serviced and replace since I received the notice from Volvo on Dec. 14 2021. I have made several appointments in my area to get this matter fixed, dealers in my area either don't have replacement in stock or don't know of the recall contract Volvo carusa llc they could not help me, now I am receiving text message on dash saying srs airbag service urgent. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
