Does the Volvo XC70 have any recalls?
I’m looking for a used Volvo XC70, but I know there have been recalls on some models in the past. But are there any recent recalls I should know about while I’m doing my used car shopping?
Kathryn Mae Kurlychek · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Based on recall information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there have been at least ten recalls on
Volvo XC70
models manufactured between 2007 and 2016. The most recent recall was issued in 2020 for faulty cables in the front seat belt connectors of certain 2008-2016 XC70 models. The problem could leave passengers unknowingly unsecured, and increase the risk of injury to unsecured passengers, in the event of a crash.
Before this recall, the Volvo XC70 also experienced two recalls in 2012 for the following reasons:
- Problems with the TPMS system: In some 2013 XC70 models, the vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system (or TPMS, for short) experienced a software error that disrupted the system’s intended function. Consequently, these models fail to meet federal safety regulations for motor vehicles.
- Problems with electrical wiring: Certain 2012 XC70 models (primarily those manufactured between May and October of 2011) did not have their wiring harness properly attached, resulting in complications and failures among essential electrical systems, including the vehicle’s supplemental restraint system (SRS) and airbags.
The good news is, no recalls have been issued for the XC70 since 2020—and, in the event your Volvo was impacted by the most recent recall, a dealership should be able to correct the issue at no cost to you.
