Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 0 complaints on file for the 1995 Volvo Wxr — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

NCAP overall
1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE TILT CAB, WHEN RAISED TO ITS FULLEST UP POSITION, CAN CAUSE THE STEERING SHAFT TO BIND AGAINST THE STEERING GEAR.
Consequence
IF THE CONTACT IS SEVERE ENOUGH, THE STEERING GEAR INPUT SHAFT COULD CRACK RESULTING IN POTENTIAL FAILURE FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING SLIP SHAFT AND THE STEERING GEAR.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 1995 Volvo Wxr. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
