4 recalls covering model years 2024. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
When you shift into reverse, the screen may stay blank instead of showing the view from the backup camera. Without that picture you cannot see what is directly behind the car — a child, a pet, a low post — so it is easier to back into something. A software update fixes it, either at the dealer or sent to your car over the air. Cars already repaired under the earlier recall need this new fix too.
On these Volvo plug in hybrids and electric models, the software that runs the braking system has a flaw. In certain situations, when you are coasting down a hill using B mode on a hybrid or One Pedal Drive on an electric model, the brakes can stop working. Volvo says not to use those two driving modes at all until the fix is done. The repair is a software update that can be sent to the car over the air or done at a dealer.
Volvo is recalling a long list of 2021-2025 models, including the XC40, XC60, XC90, S60, S90, V60, V60CC, V90, V90CC, C40, EC40 and EX40. When you shift into reverse, the backup camera picture may not appear on the screen, so you cannot see what is behind the vehicle. The fix is free software, installed either at a dealer or sent to the car over the air. Owner letters were mailed June 27, 2025.
A software glitch in the car's central electronics module can stop the left rear turn signal from working. When you signal a left turn, the light at the back of the car on that side may not blink, so drivers behind you get no warning that you are about to turn. Volvo will fix it with a software update, either at a dealer or sent to the car over the air, free of charge.
