2020 Volvo V60cc Safety Report

The 2020 Volvo V60CC presents a mixed safety picture. While NHTSA has not conducted crash tests for this specific model, leading to 'N/A' ratings across the board, the vehicle has been subject to three safety recalls. These recalls address significant issues that could increase the risk of a crash, including potential steering wheel lock-up due to double screws in the steering gear, engine stall from a failing low-pressure fuel pump, and a malfunctioning automatic emergency braking system. The low number of total complaints (4) is positive, but the nature of the recalls suggests potential for serious safety defects. The complaint data, though sparse, points to diverse issues. One complaint details a 'STRUCTURE' issue with a water leak and mildew smell, potentially affecting electrical components. Another 'POWER TRAIN' complaint describes a front left axle shaft failure at 18,000 miles, causing noise and vibration. Two complaints fall under 'VISIBILITY/WIPER' and 'ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,VISIBILITY/WIPER', specifically concerning a driver's side mirror that randomly repositions, obstructing vision. These individual complaints, while few, highlight potential quality control issues. Overall, the 2020 Volvo V60CC's safety is primarily defined by its recall history. The three recalls address critical systems (steering, fuel delivery, automatic emergency braking) that directly impact crash avoidance. The lack of crash test data means its passive safety performance is unverified by NHTSA. Prospective buyers should ensure all recall remedies have been performed.

Our recommendation: Given the three critical safety recalls, ensure all recall remedies have been performed by a Volvo dealership before purchasing; also, be aware of potential issues with the driver's side mirror and axle shaft, as indicated by the few complaints.
