ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY
A short circuit in a high-voltage battery increases the risk of a fire.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 47 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A short circuit in a high-voltage battery increases the risk of a fire.
An improperly tightened seat belt buckle may not restrain an occupant as intended, increasing their risk of injury during a crash.
A screw inside the gearbox housing can cause the steering wheel to lock up and increase the risk of a crash.
Separation of the rotor and shaft may cause a reduction in braking assistance and a loss of the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the low-pressure fuel pump can cause a stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The rear passenger may become trapped by the front seat without the ability to cancel the seat's movement, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2020 VOLVO XC90s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
