2023 V60 Cross Country Reliability

At the time of writing, the V60 CC had already been recalled twice for 2023 for a false warning message for the emergency call system and a diagnostic error that may cause a loss of ABS and ESC. Two issues are reported for 2022, one for a loss of drive power and another for a steering wheel that may lock up. There were three recalls for the 2021 model year, which include seatbelt retractor malfunctions, the same steering wheel issue from 2022, and an SRS unit that may detach. Finally, the 2020 model was recalled three times, once for the steering issue, another time for an automatic emergency braking system that may fail to engage, and once for a low-pressure fuel pump fuse that may fail.

Volvo's limited and powertrain warranties are pretty much on par with many other premium brands, running for 50,000 miles or four years, depending on which comes first. What does set Volvo apart, though, is standard factory scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles.
