Driving the news: Volvo is recalling 413,151 vehicles from model years 2021-2025 due to rearview cameras failing to display at the start of backing events, violating federal rear visibility standards.
The details: The recall covers 12 models equipped with Google-built-in infotainment systems:
2022-2025 XC60 (154,262 units)
2023-2025 XC90 (116,184 units)
2021-2025 XC40 (86,995 units)
2023-2025 S60 (25,952 units)
2022-2024 C40 (12,234 units)
2023-2025 V60CC (6,726 units)
2022-2025 S90 (5,207 units)
2022-2025 V90CC (2,563 units)
2023-2025 V60 (1,621 units)
2025 EX40 (1,398 units)
2025 EC40 (8 units)
2022 V90 (1 unit)
The reason: The issue is related to camera image rendering failures and software system performance issues.
When the camera doesn't work, the center display shows "Camera is temporarily not available."
Park assist, rear automatic braking, and cross traffic alert still function and will automatically stop the vehicle if an obstacle is detected.
Volvo estimates 100% of affected vehicles have the defect.
The remedy: Volvo is planning a software release by the end of Q1 2026. Dealers will perform over-the-air or in-shop software upgrades at no charge and Volvo will reimburse customers who already paid for repairs. Owner notifications go out by February 16, 2026, and drivers can check VINs here.
