2025 Volvo V60 Safety Report

The 2025 Volvo V60, being a very new model, currently has no consumer complaints filed with NHTSA regarding crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. This lack of complaint data is typical for a vehicle in its first model year. However, it has already been subject to two recalls, both related to the 'BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE' system. These recalls address a critical safety concern where the rearview camera image may not display, significantly reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash. While no specific incidents have been reported to NHTSA for the V60 related to this, the proactive recall by Volvo indicates a recognized safety defect. NHTSA has not yet published official safety ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover) for the 2025 Volvo V60. This is common for new models, as crash testing takes time to complete. Volvo generally has a strong reputation for safety, and its vehicles often perform well in crash tests. However, without specific data for the 2025 V60, its crash test performance remains unconfirmed. The overall safety picture for the 2025 Volvo V60 is currently characterized by a lack of consumer-reported issues, which is positive, but also by two significant recalls concerning the rearview camera system. These recalls are important and should be addressed by owners. The absence of crash test ratings means that while the vehicle's design likely incorporates Volvo's safety principles, its real-world crash performance has not yet been independently verified by NHTSA.

Our recommendation: Given it's a new model with no consumer complaints but two recalls for a significant rearview camera issue, ensure all recall remedies have been performed before purchase. Monitor for future NHTSA ratings and complaints.
