Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
1
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed May 22, 2015
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN MY 2004 S60 VOLVO SHUT DOWN ON ME WITH NO WARNING. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALERT OR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND UNABLE TO FIX IT PLACING THEMSELVES IN DANGER THINKING IT'S BEEN REPAIRED. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
Compare model years
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
