Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Volvo XC60 sits at the tail end of a generation that has seen a gradual decline in complaints and recalls after a spike in 2010. In 2010 the series recorded 56 complaints and 7 recalls, the highest in the decade, but by 2017 complaints dropped to 14 and recalls stabilized at four. The 2022 model follows this downward arc, with only three crash‑related complaints and zero fire complaints, and its top complaint areas—Electrical System (13), Unknown or Other (9), and Back Over Prevention (6)—are all within the lower range of the decade’s totals. The recall trend is flat at four, indicating no significant new safety issues for this year. Overall, the data suggest that 2022 is a solid year to purchase, offering reduced risk relative to earlier years in the same generation.
