Volvo V90 Recalls (2017-2026)
The Volvo V90 has been the subject of 11 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2017 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the seat belts, electrical system, and back over prevention.
The Volvo V90 scores 56 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 73% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 45% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 11 campaigns span 10 model years of the Volvo V90. The single largest affected 413,151 vehicles, over back over prevention. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common V90 problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Volvo V90 may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
