2019 Volvo S60 vs 2020 Volvo S60
Two adjacent model years of the Volvo S60, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalized by how many were sold.
Side by side: identical recall campaigns (4 each), and no recorded owner complaints for either. Both have 1 NHTSA investigation. Neither has NHTSA crash ratings, and 2020 S60 has EPA fuel-economy data.

| Owner complaints | 0 | 0 |
| NHTSA investigations | 1 | 1 |
| NHTSA crash rating | Not rated | Not rated |
| EPA fuel economy | — | Available |
Where these two actually differ
Both carry 4 recall campaigns, so recall history does not separate them. A campaign can still cover very different defects on each vehicle — read both records before treating the tie as equivalence.
Owner complaints are level at 0 each.
Counts are raw NHTSA and EPA totals for each model year. They are not adjusted for how many of each vehicle were sold, so a high-volume model will tend to show more of everything — a larger complaint count is not by itself evidence of a worse car. Use the per-vehicle reports for the underlying records.
How to read this
- A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
- Complaint totals are not normalized by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
- Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
