XC60Calgary
Very satisfying
March 08, 2016
AWD T6
Overall Score
Very sporty car - fast and steady. I find the steering feel to be a bit annoying - floaty and isolated, but minor day-to-day. It's a solid and very comfortable car. It's had a few minor repair issues - the hood wouldn't open (two service visits) and the sunroof wouldn't close. Fuel economy is mediocre, but that may be the price of having a solid machine with this much power. If it really bothers you, buy something else. It does everything else well.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
R10225
Units Affected:
5
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On a small number of vehicles, a software problem could cause an "e-Call service required" message to falsely display when there is no issue with the emergency calling (e-Call) system. As a result, you may not be warned when there is a real problem with the e-Call system.
Safety Risk:
If the emergency calling system does not work in an emergency situation, there could be a delay in response from emergency services.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the telematics and connectivity antenna module (TCAM).

Manufacturer Recall Number:
R10217
Units Affected:
1,602
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a problem in the brake control module (BCM) could cause reduced braking. It could also cause different safety systems to stop working. This can include the antilock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, adaptive cruise control (ACC), pilot assist and one pedal drive (OPD).
Safety Risk:
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, vehicle safety systems that stop working suddenly could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. If the update cannot be completed successfully, or for vehicles without over-the-air (OTA) update capability, Volvo will instruct you to schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the top-view camera to display instead of the rearview camera image when you are reversing. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when reversing.
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 360-degree park assist camera.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. If the update cannot be completed successfully, or for vehicles without over-the-air (OTA) update capability, Volvo will instruct you to schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.

Issue:
On certain plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, a software problem in the electrical drive cooling circuit could cause the combustion engine not to start under certain conditions. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels.
Safety Risk:
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. If the update cannot be completed successfully, or for vehicles without over-the-air (OTA) update capability, Volvo will instruct you to schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat.
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the screws that attach the control unit for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the SRS control unit may not work properly and could come loose in a crash. If this happens, the seat belt pretensioner(s), airbag systems and high-voltage battery disconnect may not work correctly.
Note: This problem may cause the SRS warning lamp to turn on and a "Service Urgent" message may display in the instrument cluster.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt pretensioner, airbag system or high-voltage battery disconnect that does not work properly in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:

On one vehicle, a defect in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) could result in an inadvertent deployment of the seatbelt pretensioner and/or side curtain airbag. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: The SRS control unit will be replaced on the affected vehicle.

On certain vehicles, the underbody coating may have been incorrectly formulated and excessively applied during the vehicle assembly process. This can result in rigid, icicle-like formations of underbody coating hanging from the undercarriage of the vehicle, which could damage the fuel lines and cause a leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, remove excessive underbody coating near the fuel lines.

On certain vehicles, the wire harness under the driver and/or passenger seat may not have been properly affixed to the seat frame during vehicle assembly. As such, the harness may get caught by the amplifier (mounted under the seat) when seating position is adjusted. If this occurs, the harness connector may detach from the socket and, as a result, the corresponding airbag may not function as intended, causing the instrument panel SRS warning lamp to illuminate. Failure of a frontal airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, secure the wire harness to the driver and/or passenger seat frame.

On certain vehicles, the engine and transmission software calibration is too sensitive. When the driver brakes during city driving, and/or releases the accelerator pedal, the engine idle speed may drop resulting in a sudden engine stall without any prior warning. Engine stalling could, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions and driver's reactions, increase the risk of a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.

If this condition occurs, the SRS lamp will be permanently lit and the message "AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" will be displayed in the drivers information module. If the condition occurs while driving, and if the driver ignores the warning and an accident occurs where the deployment of the driver's airbag is required, the airbag may not deploy as intended or may not deploy at all.

On certain vehicles, the software within the Central Electronic Module (CEM) may not send a signal to the fuel Pump Electronic Module (PEM). This missing signal to the PEM inhibits the start of the fuel pump. The driver may be able to start the engine in spite of the fuel pump not being activated due to residual pressure in the fuel system. In some cases, the driver may be able to drive the vehicle a short distance at idle. However, the engine will eventually stall. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will upgrade the CEM software.
