NHTSA Recall History

2003-06 XC90: If windshield wiper arm is activated in extreme winter conditions without lifting arm and cleaning windshield, wipers might not move from parked position.
2003-06 XC90: Outer tie rod ball joint could deform at high load and nut may loosen, eventually leading to fatigue fracture and difficulty in maneuvering vehicle.
2005 XC90: Battery's B+ terminal may conflict with starter motor solenoid, which could develop into short circuit of battery cable to ground.
2005: While doing battery maintenance, the jack's crank handle can be misplaced under a bracket which retains the battery. Misplacement of the jack's crank handle can pose a safety risk as it can result in a short circuit of the battery. Dealers will inspect and ensure proper placement of the jack crank handle and affix a warning label to the bracket.
2007-2008: The climate control module may receive a 'shut-down' signal from the engine control module (ECM), rendering the climate control functions unavailable, including the defroster. Dealers will upgrade the ECM software.
2008 XC90 with 4.4-liter V8 engine: Incorrect engine-mount bolts may cause the aluminum bracket for the engine mount to break, resulting in reduced engine torque or stalling. Dealers will inspect the engine-mount bolts, and the bracket and bolts will be replaced if necessary.
