Federal file · recalls

Recall campaigns

18 distinct NHTSA recall campaigns name this model across the 10 model years in the file, or 1.8 per model year.

A recall is a free repair the maker performs. The count is not a defect rate and is not adjusted for how many cars were sold. Whether a given car has had its recall work done is answered by a VIN lookup on the federal recall site.

Campaign numbers: 15V555000, 16V798000, 16V918000, 17V127000, 18V800000, 19V849000, 20V144000, 20V378000, 21V001000, 21V414000, 21V682000, 22V793000, 23V012000, 24V788000, 25V179000, 25V282000, 25V392000, 25V908000.

Federal file · complaints

Most-reported components

57 complaints on file for this model across the model years in the file.

Self-reported safety complaints, not adjusted for sales volume, and not verified by NHTSA as defects. Counted by distinct complaint number; one complaint can name several components, so the rows add up to more than the total. Complaint counts tend to rise after a recall is announced. A component named often is where owners reported problems, not a measured failure rate.

Volvo V60 years to avoid? The complaint count by model year

Within this model only, the model years with the most self-reported safety complaints on file: 2015 (21), 2016 (14), 2020 (8). This ranks years of one model against each other and is not adjusted for sales volume. Newer model years have had fewer years on the road in which to collect complaints, and a year showing zero means no complaint in the file matched that model year under the strings used. Read it as a record, not a verdict.
