Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Based on the federal data available, the 2026 Volvo XC60 falls in a data gap relative to the generation tracked (2009–2017), which limits direct trend analysis for that model year. However, the 2009–2017 arc reveals a clear long-term improvement trajectory: complaints peaked at 66 in 2013 before declining to 14 by 2017, and recalls dropped from a high of 7 in 2010 to just 1 by 2015—though they rebounded slightly to 4 in 2017. The 2026 data shows a modest complaint profile with no crash or fire complaints, though wiper/visibility issues (3 complaints) and tire concerns (2 complaints) represent the top categories. Without recall or TSB counts for 2026 itself, it is unclear whether the generation's reliability improvements have continued. The lack of federal investigation history across the entire generation is a positive indicator, but the nine-year data gap means potential new issues in the 2026 model cannot be assessed from this record alone. A buyer should verify whether any post-2017 recalls or TSBs specifically apply to the 2026 model before purchasing, as the available federal record does not cover that period.
