Does a recall affect your Volvo V60?

Not every Volvo V60 is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Volvo V60 recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2010 to 2026

2016 had the most, with 5. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Trim panel may cause injury during collision

Launched 13 November 2012 DVSA recall R/2012/144 Manufacturer ref. R89354

Defect
Volvo's quality follow-up procedures have identified an issue with a limited number of S60 & V60 Volvos (MY2013). The securing screws for the inner A-pillar panels may have been torqued incorrectly. This could cause the A-pillar panels to crack and this may affect the attachment of the trims during a collision should the inflatable curtain be activated.

Reduced braking performance

Launched 14 September 2012 DVSA recall R/2012/104 Manufacturer ref. R59345

Defect
Investigations have identified the wiper arm mechanism may chafe against the brake booster vacuum line. If this chafing occurs it could lead to a gradual reduction of the power assisted braking and more effort would need to be applied to the brake pedal than usual to slow the vehicle down. In a worst case the reduction of braking assistance could occur suddenly without any prior warning
Remedy
Inspect the brake booster vacuum line. If it is chafed then it should be replaced and routed correctly. If the line is not chafed it should re-routed to ensure no issues going forward.

Derived statistics UK Motoring 		January 1992 to September 2026 39 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Volvo V60. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
