2001 VOLVO S60 — Complaint #341504
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:TUBE filed April 4, 2002
NHTSA complaint #341504 (ODI reference 760045) concerns a 2001 VOLVO S60 and was filed on April 4, 2002. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 13, 2002. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:tube, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same VOLVO S60 cohort independently describe similar tires:tube failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2001 VOLVO S60 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
