The 2008 Volvo XC90 has two recalls, the more serious being a fire risk from the optional Garmin 760 portable GPS unit, whose battery can overheat and ignite.
On the mechanical side, certain vehicles may have been fitted with engine mount bolts that are too long and do not grip the bracket properly. Over time the aluminum bracket can crack and break, letting the engine shift and contact the subframe, which can cause a noticeable loss of power or an unexpected stall.
