CarFaultIQ holds 215 evidence records for the 2012 Volvo XC90, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What the records are about, by source

- Safety recalls (117 records, model years 2003–2025) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, seat belts and air bags (restraint system).

"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
