Volvo S90 reliability by year
Each year is complaints filed in that year’s first 3 years on the road, divided by however many of those years have passed. A model year younger than 3 years is too early to compare, so it is left out of the years named as having the fewest or the most complaints. Recalls are a separate count. The numbers are for the US-market Volvo S90. How we count.

Known issues for this generation
Recall 18V-800 covers certain 2017-2019 Volvo XC90, S90, V60, V90, XC40, XC60, and related models: Vehicle Connectivity Module software can keep telematics and driver-support systems from working properly, so GPS location may not reach emergency responders after a crash. Dealers correct the software. Recall 19V-220 covers certain 2018-2019 XC60 and S90 vehicles whose front seat-rail rear flange nuts may be missing; dealers inspect and install nuts as needed. Recall 21V-414 covers certain 2019-2020 S90 and other Volvo models where the low-pressure fuel pump can blow a fuse and fail, which can stall the vehicle; dealers replace the fuse. Recall 25V-179 covers certain 2020-2021 S90 plug-in hybrid vehicles, among other Volvo PHEVs: the high-voltage battery may short when fully charged and parked; owners are told not to charge until the remedy, and dealers inspect or replace the module and update software.
