Volvo Car USA recently issued a recall for certain 2021-2025 vehicles, with an estimated 413,152 impacted units.
The recall calls attention to Volvo cars with a rearview camera. The image may not display or be “temporarily unavailable” when the vehicle is placed in reverse. A rearview camera image that does not display reduces the driver’s view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Specific vehicle impacts include:
2022-2025 C40
2025 EC40
2025 EX40
2023-2025 S60
2022-2025 S90
2023-2025 V60
2023-2025 V60CC
2022 V90
2022-2025 V90CC
2021-2025 XC40
2022-2025 XC60
2023-2025 XC90
In April 2021, Volvo received the first report indicating a rearview camera was temporarily “not available”. On March 24, 2025, Volvo addressed the issue alongside the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and it was eventually concluded as potentially critical.
The recall population was determined by the production of cars with ICUP (Google-built-in infotainment system) starting September 7, 2020. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, “Rear Visibility.”
The software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge.
According to the Safety Recall Report, if an out-of-pocket expense has been paid for before the update is performed or before receiving a recall notification letter, customers may be eligible to receive reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy of the problem associated with this recall.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 24, 2025.
