The 2020 Volvo V60 has 3 recalls, the most serious affecting plug-in hybrid models: the high-voltage battery can short circuit while fully charged and parked, creating a fire risk even when the vehicle is not in use.
The low-pressure fuel pump can fail by blowing a fuse, which cuts fuel delivery and can cause the engine to stall without warning while driving. There is also a software and hardware incompatibility in the automatic emergency braking system that can prevent it from detecting obstacles ahead, meaning the system may not slow or stop the vehicle in situations where it otherwise would have intervened.
