“To whom it may concern: we bought our new Volvo V70 glt wagon in 1999 from kramer motor, santa monica, california. Just recently the airbag safety light (srs) went off and I was told by the authorized Volvo service dealer (rusnak, pasadena) that it meant something was wrong in the airbag system and Volvo would replace the airbag. On the day of the repair the dealer called and told me there was something wrong with my seat covers - the covers were not authorized Volvo seat covers (driver and passenger) and therefore the Volvo airbag feature might not work. …”
