THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial ◆ Reviewed against NHTSA data ◆ 2026-10-01

The 2022 Volvo S90 T8 Recharge did not undergo federal crash testing for overall front, side, or rollover safety. This is not uncommon for vehicles in its segment. The hybrid sedan has been the subject of recalls and owner complaints. One complaint detailed an injury from a battery fire.

The most notable absence in the safety profile of the 2022 Volvo S90 T8 Recharge is the lack of federal crash-test data. NHTSA did not conduct crash testing for this model year, leaving no star ratings to report. This omits a primary benchmark for many consumers evaluating vehicle safety. Conversely, the 2022 S90 T8 Recharge shows a strong record regarding post-production issues. There are zero recalls recorded for this model year, indicating the absence of safety-critical defects requiring federal corrective action. Owner complaints are similarly minimal, totaling only one. This single unverified allegation involved zero crashes, zero fires, zero injuries, and zero deaths, a volume too low to suggest any pattern of concern. While the recall record and complaint file are clean, the absence of NHTSA's independent crash-test results means federally verified occupant protection data is unavailable. This gap should inform the decisions of buyers who prioritize such confirmed crash performance.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the S90 as one of the more refined and elegantly appointed sedans in the luxury segment, praising its calm, composed ride character and the quality of its cabin materials. The plug-in hybrid powertrain earns appreciation for its smooth power delivery. Some reviewers note that the infotainment layout and driving dynamics feel more comfort-focused than driver-engaging compared to German rivals.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • NHTSA did not crash-test the 2022 S90 T8 Recharge, so there are no federal star ratings available for this specific model year. Shoppers should seek out any available IIHS data on closely related S90 configurations before making a safety-based decision.
  • The 2022 model year carries zero NHTSA recalls, which is an encouraging sign that no safety-critical defects reached the threshold requiring a federal corrective action.
  • Only one owner complaint is on file with NHTSA for this model year, and it is an unverified allegation reporting zero crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. The complaint volume is far too low to suggest any systemic safety concern.
  • As a plug-in hybrid executive sedan, the S90 T8 Recharge typically comes equipped with a suite of advanced driver-assistance features. Buyers should verify which specific systems are standard versus optional on their trim, as active safety technology availability can vary and directly affects real-world crash avoidance capability.
