2017 VOLVO V60 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2017 VOLVO V60 has 0 complaints and 8 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to vehicle safety systems and door latching mechanisms based on recall data. No consumer complaints were documented for this model year.
There are eight recalls affecting the vehicle, spanning several critical systems including door latches, airbags, electrical software, and seat belts. These recalls address safety concerns and require dealer repairs provided at no cost to owners.
- Door latch failure. Recall 19V849000 covers 144,937 vehicles due to components within the door latches that may break. This defect can cause difficulty in latching doors or give a false indication that doors are securely closed. Unlatched doors pose a risk of opening while driving, increasing injury potential. Dealers replace all four door latches free of charge.
- Side air bag malfunction. Recalls 17V127000 and 16V918000 affect 112 and 376 vehicles respectively. The front seat side air bags may have inflator initiators that fail to ignite during a crash, preventing air bag deployment. This defect increases injury risk in side impacts. Volvo inspects and replaces airbags as needed.
- Software error in VCM. Recall 18V800000 involves 17,548 vehicles with defective software in the Vehicle Connectivity Module. The GPS system may fail to send location data to emergency responders during crashes. This impairs emergency response. Dealers update the module software at no cost to owners.
- Seat belt cable fatigue. Recall 20V378000 covers 308,260 vehicles where the steel cable linking the front seat belts may weaken and fail to secure occupants properly in a crash. An unsecured occupant faces a higher injury risk. Dealers replace the seat belt anchor cables for both front seats free of charge.
- Seat belt buckle detachment. Recall 16V798000 involves 74,027 vehicles with potential loosening of the front passenger seat belt buckle stud. This can cause the buckle to separate from the bracket, compromising occupant restraint and increasing injury risk. Dealers inspect and replace buckles as needed.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting an attorney familiar with lemon law can provide guidance on potential remedies.
