Complaints by model year
Newer model years have had less time on the road, so they naturally have fewer complaints. Compare a year against its neighbors rather than against brand-new models.

Volvo VT recalls
Risk: Failure of the ball joint may cause separation of the socket and a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Without a signal to disengage the clutch when the brakes are applied, the distance required to stop the truck may lengthen, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Corrosion of the valve can cause it to malfunction, thereby adversely affecting braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The misinformation on these labels could lead to a vehicle overloading that can increase risk of a crash.
Risk: The upper window hinges may fail and allow the glass to fall out of the window frame creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
