The 2016 Volvo V60 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the automatic engine stop/start system, where a blown starter motor fuse can leave the car unable to restart after stopping in traffic, raising the risk of a crash.
Two recalls cover the front seatbelts. In one, the attaching stud on the front passenger seatbelt buckle can loosen until the buckle separates entirely from its bracket, leaving the passenger without a functioning restraint in a crash. A second recall addresses a separate front seatbelt concern where an occupant may not be properly secured, again raising injury risk in a collision. On the door latch side, a component inside the door latch mechanism can break, making doors either difficult to close or appearing fully latched when they are not, which can allow a door to swing open while the vehicle is moving.
