Buying a used 2025 Volvo EX90? Check these 3 recalls first
The EX90's first model year carries three recalls: headlight covers that can close while driving, a power tailgate that can drop suddenly, and second-row seat bolts that may be loose. None carry a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. More notable for a first-year vehicle is the complaint volume — 69 unverified owner reports to NHTSA, 33 of them electrical system, plus fuel/propulsion and power train entries, with two crashes and one injury alleged.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for dealer proof that all three recalls are closed on this VIN: headlight covers, power tailgate, second-row seat bolts.
- Cycle the power tailgate repeatedly and confirm it holds at partial open without dropping.
- On the test drive, work through infotainment, driver display, and charging for the electrical faults owners report most.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
