by Recently, Polestar announced a recall of 27,816 Polestar 2 electric vehicles due to a malfunction of the rearview camera. Now it turns out that Volvo is facing a similar problem, but on a much larger scale – over 413,000 cars in the US require repair.
As reported, in certain models, the image from the rearview camera may not display when reversing. This limits visibility and forces drivers to rely solely on mirrors. Although the problem can be solved by simply checking the mirrors, modern safety standards require the mandatory presence of a functioning rearview camera.
The manufacturer explains the malfunction as a faulty code that, under certain conditions, blocks the image output on the multimedia system screen. It is important to note that the automatic braking and cross-traffic warning systems continue to work even in the absence of an image from the camera.
In total, 413,151 vehicles of various models and production years are subject to the recall, including:
- S60 2023-2025 model years (June 2022 – June 2024)
- V60 2023-2025 model years (May 2022 – June 2024)
- V60CC 2023-2025 model years (May 2022 – April 2025)
- S90 2022-2025 model years (June 2021 – January 2025)
- V90 2022 model year (October 2021)
Also added to the list are:
- V90 CC 2022-2025 model years (June 2021 – April 2025)
- XC60 2022-2025 model years (May 2021 – April 2025)
- XC90 2023-2025 model years (May 2022 – April 2025)
- XC40 2021-2025 model years (September 2020 – April 2025)
- C40 2022-2025 model years (October 2021 – April 2025)
