Reported Dec 23, 2025 · Campaign 25V908000 · Model years: 2025
Volvo is recalling a range of recent Volvo cars and SUVs. When the driver shifts into reverse, the picture from the rearview camera may not come up on the screen. Because of that, these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility safety rule. A dealer can install updated software, or the update can be sent to the car over the air. This recall replaces an earlier Volvo recall, and cars already repaired under that earlier recall need the new repair too.

On some Volvo EX40, XC40, XC40 BEV, and XC90 PHEV vehicles, using "B" mode or One Pedal Drive while coasting down a hill in certain driving situations can cause the vehicle to lose brake function. Losing the ability to brake properly in this way can make it harder to slow down or stop the vehicle when needed, which increases the risk of a crash on the road.
Reported May 8, 2025 · Campaign 25V282000 · Model years: 2025
On these Volvo vehicles, the backup camera picture may not show up on the screen when you shift into reverse. The camera view is supposed to appear every time the vehicle is put in reverse, and because it may not, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for rear visibility. Volvo will fix this with a software update, either at a dealer or sent to the vehicle over the air.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

Which Volvo EX40 model year has the most recalls?
The 2025 Volvo EX40 has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2026 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Volvo EX40?
No. None of the 3 Volvo EX40 recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Volvo EX40 has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Volvo dealer, including for second owners.
