What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Volvo S90, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owned a 2022 Volvo S90. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, smoke entered the cabin, and the vehicle hesitated to maintain motive power. The contact pulled over to the shoulder and opened the hood with the engine running, at which point a fire ignited. The police department arrived on the scene and filed a report. The fire department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. The dealer was contacted, and a dealer investigator arrived on the scene; however, due to fire severity of the fire, the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance provider. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by telephone, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 194,000.

Seat belts
Reports naming seat belts, buckles, retractors and pretensioners.
From owner reports, verbatim
Two different times, while stopped at a traffic light, suddenly and without cause the seat belt tensioners in the front seats activated until we released the buckles. They violently retracted into our bodies, causing chest pain and for me, a female, left breast pain. The first time was 09/15/2022. The second time was 04/22/2023. The current software is version 2.7. For the first time, the version was 2.2. To be clear, we weren't moving at all, nor was the car in line in front of us. We notified Volvo after the first time and will do so again now.

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.
