The short answer
NHTSA received Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC’s report on Aug 21, 2013. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Malfunctioning head lamps and/or turn signals increase the risk of a crash.
Volvo is recalling certain model year 2014 S60, S80, XC60 and XC70 vehicles equipped with keyless ignition.
In the affected vehicles, the Central Electronic Module (CEM) will not perform as intended.
As a result, the front windshield wipers might run continuously when the ignition is on.
Also, the turn signals, high beams, and headlight switch might not work.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
