The 2019 Volvo V60 has 5 recalls, the most serious being an undersized fuse in the low-pressure fuel pump circuit that can blow while driving, cutting engine power and leaving the driver without acceleration in traffic.
The automatic emergency braking system carries its own concern: a software and hardware incompatibility can prevent the system from detecting obstacles and applying the brakes as intended, removing a layer of crash protection the driver may be counting on. There is also a software issue in the Vehicle Connectivity Module, which handles telematics and driver assistance functions. When this module malfunctions, the vehicle may not transmit an accurate GPS location to emergency services after a crash, delaying response times when they matter most. Finally, a label on the B-pillar incorrectly lists the front wheel size as 19 inches when the correct size is 18 inches, which could lead to the wrong wheels being fitted during a tire or rim replacement.
