2007 Volvo S80

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 S80.

Body PASSENGER CAR

The 2007 Volvo S80 is a passenger car whose engine calls for 7.4 quarts of 5W-30 or 10W-30 API-rated oil, the kind of mature, conservative specification typical of a manufacturer refining an established model line. Within the S80's complaint record spanning 1999 through 2016, the 2007 model year registers 24 owner reports — led by structural issues — alongside five recalls, a notably calmer profile than the 345-complaint peak recorded in 2000. That places the 2007 S80 as a relatively settled data point in the model's history, offering researchers a clear contrast to both the early-decade turbulence and the near-silent 2014 model year that logged just a single complaint. Even so, the concentration of structural complaints and the recall count keep this year from serving as a clean benchmark.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

The 2007 Volvo S80 marks the debut of the second generation, and its federal record reflects a clean break from the troubled early years of the first generation (1999–2001), which saw up to 345 complaints and multiple investigations. While the 2007 model’s 24 complaints are a slight increase over the 12 recorded for 2006, they remain far below the peaks of the prior generation and are consistent with the low complaint levels that persist through 2016. Notably, the 2007 year carries zero investigations and zero crash or fire complaints, but it does have a high count of 245 technical service bulletins (TSBs), significantly above the 187 TSBs for 2006 and among the highest in the entire dataset, suggesting that Volvo proactively issued numerous service advisories to address early production refinements. The top complaint areas—structure, engine, electrical system/exterior lighting, and steering—are typical for a new model launch and do not point to any systemic safety defect. Overall, the 2007 S80 is a reasonable purchase from a reliability standpoint, but a buyer should verify that the extensive list of TSB-related updates has been performed to avoid lingering first-year quirks.
