23 December 2025

Transport Canada lists: 40 2021–2025 · C 40 2022–2025 · Ec 40 2022–2025 · S 60 2023–2025 · and 6 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2025-233. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.

Why it matters

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.

What the dealer will do

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.

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause a loss of brakes. Note: This recall only affects plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicles.

Why it matters

A loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Volvo recommends not to use the "B" or "One Pedal Drive" drive modes until the recall repairs are completed. Volvo will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicles to a dealership to update the brake control module software.

Why it matters

19 January 2023

Transport Canada lists: C 40 2023 · S 60 2023 · V 60 2023 · V 90 2023 · and 3 more

What is wrong

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).

Why it matters

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.

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, 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.

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.
