Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Across this S60 generation, federal complaints spiked sharply in 2012 (121 complaints) and 2013 (85 complaints) before dropping significantly in the 2014 target year to just 25 complaints. Recalls followed a similar downward trajectory, falling from a peak of 8 in 2012 to 3 in 2014, though they briefly rose again to 4 in 2016. The 2014 model sits at a distinct low point in the generation's complaint arc, especially compared to the subsequent rebound to 57 complaints in 2015. While the data does not specify root causes, the 2014 model's top complaint areas are led by the engine (7 complaints), followed by tires (2), with only 1 crash complaint and 0 fire complaints reported. For a used buyer, the 2014 S60 represents a statistically favorable valley in the generation's reliability curve, making it a relatively safe year to purchase provided the engine components are thoroughly inspected.
