The 2022 Volvo V60 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect in plug-in hybrid models where a short circuit can develop while the car is parked and fully charged, creating a fire risk.
The second recall, also affecting plug-in hybrid trims, involves a software error in the engine control module that can prevent the combustion engine from starting. As the high-voltage battery drains without the engine able to take over, the vehicle can lose drive power entirely, raising the risk of a crash. The third recall concerns the rear seat belt retractors, where the automatic locking mechanism can disengage earlier than it should. When that happens, a child safety seat anchored using the seat belt may not stay firmly secured, leaving it less able to protect a child in a crash.
