This page covers 4 recalls and 14 owner complaints for the 2022 Volvo S60.
Complaints about the 2022 S60 are spread across a handful of systems with no single dominant pattern, given the relatively small number of reports. The electrical system and infotainment draw the most attention: owners describe the center display going blank at random, sometimes paired with a loud audio squeal, and when that happens HVAC controls, including rear defrost, stop responding along with audio cues like turn signal sounds. A separate cluster of reports involves the fuel and propulsion system, where owners describe the car abruptly entering a reduced-power mode, limiting speed to around 25 mph with a warning icon illuminated. Wheel and tire pressure monitoring complaints describe the system triggering false low-pressure alerts across all four tires simultaneously. One report involves airbag warning lights and subsequent repairs to the steering wheel airbag, knee airbag, and seatbelt, though that appears to be an isolated case rather than a recurring theme.

Total Complaints
By System
The 2022 Volvo S60 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect on plug-in hybrid models that can cause a short circuit and start a fire while the vehicle is parked and fully charged.
A separate powertrain issue can also affect driveability: a software error in the engine control module may prevent the combustion engine from starting. As the high-voltage battery drains without the engine to support it, the vehicle can lose drive power while in motion, raising the risk of a crash. On the occupant safety side, the rear seatbelt retractors can deactivate their automatic locking function too early, which prevents a child safety seat from cinching down properly and staying secure in a crash. There is also a frontal airbag concern: the passenger airbag may not be properly anchored in its housing, causing it to deploy out of position in a crash rather than protecting the occupant as intended.
