Faulty airbags, fires and failing roof rails are the reasons behind three new safety recalls launched by car manufacturers.

The biggest of the three recalls affects 2265 Mazda Premacy, 6 and 6 estate models. Mazda has found that the airbag warning light could come on and deactivate the safety system. In some instances the airbag could deploy unintentionally.

Cars carrying the following VIN numbers are potentially affected:

JMZCP19**21300011 to JMZCP19**21316449

Volvo wants to inspect 392 S60, V70, XC70 and XC90 cars because the cooling fan may malfunction and lead to a fire in the engine bay.

Cars carrying the following VIN numbers are covered by the recall:
