Buying a used 2024 Volvo XC40? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 14 owner complaints on file

One critical recall applies to Volvo hybrids and EVs: braking can be lost while coasting downhill. Three medium recalls cover a software fault that disables the left rear turn signal and two separate backup camera display problems. Fourteen owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, more than the other vehicles here, clustered in electrical system, service brakes, back-over prevention, and other; one reports a crash, with no fires or injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm the hybrid/EV braking recall software update was installed, and test braking on a downhill coast
3. Shift into reverse and verify the backup camera displays every time, not intermittently
4. Check the left rear turn signal and ask whether all software updates have been applied at a dealer
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
