Common Defects

Recently, Volvo had a major recall campaign that involved over 120,000 cars that were manufactured in 2019 and 2020 due to their defective automatic emergency braking systems.

The systems were not detecting pedestrians or other obstacles in the road. The recall affected almost every single Volvo vehicle that was built in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Volvo is expected to go through a massive recall in 2020 that includes about 2 million vehicles throughout the world due to defective front seats.

Front seats can be a huge safety issue when they are not secured properly because it puts the driver in danger in the event of a collision. It appears that Volvo has assessed the risk and is going to recall the vehicles that have weak supports in the front seats.
