The 2021 Volvo S90 has two recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect on plug-in hybrid models where a short circuit can develop while the vehicle is parked at full charge, raising the risk of a fire.
The second recall affects the integrated brake system, where a rotor and shaft inside the unit can separate, reducing brake assistance and disabling anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, which raises the risk of a crash.
