Vehicle report
2002 VOLVO S80
This model year
What the record shows
The 2002 Volvo S80 is the 10th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1993 to 2016.
The federal record holds 42 owner complaints, 3 safety recalls and 137 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
