7 December 2023

Transport Canada lists: XC 90 2015–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the second-row seat belt buckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the seat belts could loosen or detach in a crash.

Why it matters

A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the second-row seat belt buckle attachment bolts.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the top-view camera to display instead of the rearview camera image when you are reversing. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when reversing. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 360-degree park assist camera.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

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.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuse for the low-pressure fuel pump may be too small. As a result, the fuse could blow and the engine could stall while driving.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the 15 A fuse for the low-pressure fuel pump with a 20 A fuse.

23 April 2021

Transport Canada lists: XC 90 2016–2020

What is wrong

On certain XC90 Excellence models, the rear seat control display may not work properly if the touch screen gets wet. This could cause the front passenger seat to move to the fully rearward position, even after you stop touching it. If the touch screen stays wet, you may not be able to move the seat forward again.

Why it matters

This could result in an injury for rear seat passengers.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the software for rear seat control display.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the automatic emergency braking system (AEB) may not apply the brakes automatically when it detects a possible collision. In addition, the system may not warn of a potential crash with a non-moving vehicle or object. Note: The regular brake system and all other functions in the vehicle are not affected by this problem.

Why it matters

The AEB system may not provide driver warnings and apply the brakes automatically to help avoid a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the vehicle software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the Telematics and Driver Support Systems may not function as designed due to a software error. In the event of a crash, this could mean that the Emergency Assist system would not alert Volvo and provide the GPS coordinates of the vehicle. This could create a risk of no response from emergency services.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.
