2016 Volvo V60 — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 387 evidence records for the 2016 Volvo V60, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas

Other / uncategorized: 1 classifications (3.7%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (164 records, model years 2015–2024) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors).
- Transport Canada recalls (52 records, model years 2015–2025) are most frequently classified under: brakes, seat belts and visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors).
- Manufacturer communications (3,151 records, model years 2015–2024) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
