Over-the-air fixVisual system
2025-12-23 · campaign 2025-718
Issue:

Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2025-233. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the vehicle software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Volvo dealership.

Over-the-air fixBrakes
2023-01-19 · campaign 2023-010
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a problem in the brake control module (BCM) could cause reduced braking. It could also cause different safety systems to stop working. This can include the antilock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, adaptive cruise control (ACC), pilot assist and one pedal drive (OPD).

Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, vehicle safety systems that stop working suddenly could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. If the update cannot be completed successfully, or for vehicles without over-the-air (OTA) update capability, Volvo will instruct you to schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.
