Reliability & federal safety record

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

Federal data for the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge shows a marked improvement over the 2021 model year, with owner complaints falling from 40 to 14 and technical service bulletins declining from 249 to 161, even as recalls edged up slightly from 3 to 4 while investigations remained at zero. This trajectory indicates the generation matured from its earlier phase, placing the 2024 model in a window of lower routine service volume and reduced customer reports, though not without continued recall exposure. The 2024 record shows 4 crash complaints and zero fire complaints, with top complaint areas including Back Over Prevention and unspecified issues, yet the data does not specify root causes for these reports or for the recalls themselves. Notably, the 2024 recall count of 4 exceeds the 3 recorded for 2021, indicating that manufacturer-directed remedies did not taper proportionally even as owner reports declined. Given the substantial drop in complaints and TSBs alongside only a marginal increase in recalls, 2024 represents a relatively settled point in the generation and is a sound year to buy used.
