Known issues on the 2016 XC90. The 2016 XC90 has 8 recalls on the federal record. One, covering 34,006 vehicles, reached certain 2016 XC90 SUVs whose engine coolant bleeder hose could crack from heat and humidity; leaking coolant could soak the catalytic converter heat shield insulation and ignite while parked, so dealers replaced the hose. Another, covering 30,214 vehicles, involved certain examples built within a set production window whose overhead sunroof switch might sit too proud and could be bumped, closing the roof; a software update disabled auto-close. Owners filed 198 complaints — 87 on the engine, 57 on the electrical system, 23 on structure — and 5 reported a crash, 11 a fire and 4 an injury. Cooling system procedures and torque values apply.
