Volvo Recall Affects Certain 2021 to 2025 Model Vehicles Due to Backup Camera Defect
Volvo has issued a major recall affecting more than 413,000 vehicles due to a malfunctioning backup camera. The issue? The rearview camera may fail to display an image when the vehicle reverses, posing a significant safety risk. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the defect stems from a software issue in vehicles equipped with Google’s built-in infotainment system.
The recall impacts nearly all pre-2026 Volvo models with the Google system, including:
-
2023–2025 Volvo S60
-
2022–2025 Volvo S90
-
2023–2025 Volvo V60 and V60 Cross Country
-
2022 Volvo V90 and 2022–2025 V90 Cross Country
-
2021–2025 Volvo XC40
-
2022–2025 Volvo XC60
-
2023–2025 Volvo XC90
To remedy the defect, Volvo is offering a software update, but owners must bring their vehicles to a dealership for the fix.
Polestar, Volvo’s former EV brand, is facing a similar issue. Every Polestar 2 sold in the U.S.—a total of 27,816 vehicles—is being recalled due to a “synchronization error” between the camera and display. While it’s unclear if the problem is identical to Volvo’s, the required solution is also a software update.
If you own one of these vehicles and have experienced backup camera issues, you may have rights under California’s Lemon Law. This law protects consumers who have purchased or leased defective vehicles that can’t be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts.
