This page covers 3 recalls and EPA fuel economy for the 2019 Volvo V90.
25–27 mpg combined
8.7–9.4 L/100km
Midsize Station Wagons
Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 2 tested variants for this model year.
The 2019 Volvo V90 has 3 recalls, the most serious being an automatic emergency braking system that may fail to detect obstacles ahead, leaving the driver without the vehicle's automated crash prevention when it could matter most.
The second recall involves the low-pressure fuel pump, which can blow a fuse and shut down entirely while driving. When the pump fails, the engine loses fuel supply and stalls, which can leave the driver without power in traffic or at highway speed. On the software side, a connectivity module error can cause the vehicle's telematics and driver assistance systems to malfunction. In a crash or medical emergency, that failure can prevent the system from transmitting an accurate GPS location to emergency services, slowing their response.
