Source: recalls and complaints per year on the roadOn the filed record so far, the 2018 is the cleanest V90 year we hold, and the 2022 the one to check hardest.
Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.

Common questions about the Volvo V90
Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kitsWhich Volvo V90 year is the best used buy?
On the recall record, the 2018 V90 comes out top of the years before the current one: Safety Signal grade A (94/100), 1 recall and 9 owner complaints on file. That ranks paperwork, not condition — a specific car's history and service record still decide it.
What Volvo V90 years should I avoid?
No V90 model year carries a D or F Safety Signal or a standing advisory. The ranking page orders every year on recalls and complaints per year on the road, and says why.
How many recalls does the Volvo V90 have?
Across model years 2017–2026, NHTSA has posted 21 recall campaigns for the Volvo V90. They are counted per model year in the table above, because a campaign almost never covers the whole run — it covers a build range.
