Volvo Recalls 2013 S60 and XC60 for Incorrect Certification Labels

Volvo is recalling 2013 S60 and XC60 vehicles manufactured on January 7, 2013, because their certification labels list the incorrect manufacture year.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a documentation and labeling error (incorrect manufacture year) with no reported injuries or immediate safety defects, fitting the criteria for cosmetic or documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 S60 and XC60 vehicles. These specific vehicles were manufactured on January 7, 2013. The product identification labels on these vehicles were printed with the incorrect manufacture year, causing them to fail compliance with 49 CFR Part 567, the Certification Regulation.

The incorrect date of manufacture on the certification label may prevent vehicle owners from determining if they are affected by future vehicle recalls. This failure to identify potential future recalls could increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Volvo has quarantined the affected vehicles and will install correct labels prior to sale. The recall began in March 2013. Because the vehicles were corrected before sale, owner notification letters will not be sent. Owners may contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
