Volvo S90 Recalls

The Volvo S90 has 15 recalls spanning 2016 through 2025, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2025 models where windows can detach from the vehicle, creating a road hazard and raising the risk of a crash or injury.

On 2022-2025 models, a software error can prevent the rearview camera from displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing the driver's view behind the car. A separate issue on 2022-2023 plug-in hybrid models involves an engine control module software error that can prevent the combustion engine from starting; as the high-voltage battery drains, the vehicle can lose drive power entirely.

Stepping back to 2020-2021 plug-in hybrid models, the high-voltage battery can develop an internal short circuit when fully charged and parked, raising the risk of fire. The 2021 model year has a brake system issue where a rotor and shaft can separate internally, reducing braking assistance and disabling anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control. On 2019-2020 models, the automatic emergency braking system can fail to detect obstacles and engage, and the low-pressure fuel pump can blow a fuse and stall the engine. A 2019 model equipped with a 360-degree park assist camera can display the top-view image instead of the rearview image when reversing.

The 2018-2019 model years have a seat rail issue where missing rear flange nuts can allow the front seat structure to shift in a crash. On 2017-2019 vehicles, a software error in the connectivity module can prevent GPS location from being transmitted to emergency services after a crash. The 2017 model year has a separate concern with the inflatable curtain airbag mounting bolts, which can break and cause the side curtain airbag to deploy incorrectly in a crash.

Going back to the earliest production years, 2016-2017 models have two issues: an air conditioning drain hose that can leak water into the passenger compartment and interfere with airbag deployment in a crash, and a front passenger seatbelt buckle stud that can loosen and allow the buckle to separate from its bracket, leaving the passenger unrestrained.
