Recalls: Volvo Mk.2 V60 Cross Country
2016 model year Volvo V60 Cross Country: engine may cut-out
In March 2016, a recall was issued for ‘2016 model year’ Volvo V60 Cross Country vehicles that had serial numbers (i.e. the last six digits of the VIN) in the range 003024 to 017727. In these vehicles, the engine may momentarily cut-out and then immediately restart – this could cause disturbance in some electrical systems such as shut down of the instrument cluster, infotainment system and loss of power steering assistance. The sudden loss of power and reduced power steering assistance could pose a hazard to the driver and other road users (PRA 2016/15242).
2017 model year Volvo V60 Cross Country: airbags may not inflate completely
In January 2017, a recall was issued for 2017 model year Volvo V60 Cross Country vehicles. In the event of a collision, the airbag igniter may not cause adequate inflation of the driver, passenger and/or seat airbags in these vehicles. If the airbags did not inflate completely, the risk of injury for the driver and other occupants would be increased (PRA 2017/15822).
2014-18 model year Volvo V60 Cross Country: intake manifold could melt or deform
In July 2019, recall campaign R29939 was issued for 2014-18 model year Volvo V60 Cross Country vehicles. In these vehicles, the engine valve may leak and cause the engine intake manifold to melt or deform. If the engine intake manifold were to melt or deform, the vehicle may enter ‘limp home’ which restricted engine power and speed; it also posed a fire hazard. This reduction in engine power and fire hazard increased the risk of a collision and injury. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17676.
Volvo Mk.2 V60 Cross Country: front seatbelt fasteners
In August 2020, recall campaign R10029 was issued for Volvo Mk.2 V60 Cross Countryvehicles. In these vehicles, the flexible steel cable that was connected to the outboard side of the front seatbelts may fatigue and separate from the seatbelt. If this occurred, the occupant would not be properly restrained and this increased the risk of injury or death in the event of a collision. For this recall, replacement parts were not expected to be available until after October 2020 and owners were to be advised – in writing – of how to secure the front seatbelt while waiting for those parts to arrive. When the parts became available, the seatbelt fasteners were to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18415.
