The 2019 Volvo V60CC has 4 recalls, the most serious being a steering defect where a loose screw inside the steering gearbox can cause the steering wheel to lock up without warning, raising the risk of a crash.
A separate recall covers the low-pressure fuel pump, which can blow a fuse and shut down completely, stalling the engine while driving. A stall at highway speed or in traffic removes power steering and braking assistance and leaves the vehicle vulnerable to a rear-end collision.
On the safety systems side, a software and hardware incompatibility can prevent the automatic emergency braking system from detecting obstacles ahead, meaning the system may not apply the brakes in a situation where it would normally intervene before a collision. There is also an issue with the vehicle connectivity module, where a software error can cause the telematics system to report an incorrect GPS location. In a crash or medical emergency, this means first responders may not be directed to the vehicle's actual position, which can slow their response.
