Volvo Recalls 40,000 Vehicles in Canada, Nearly All Models Affected
Another week goes by and another car company announces a recall due to rear-view camera issues.
This story is about Volvo and the vast majority of its current crop of models. A software problem could cause the rear-view camera image not to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse, thus increasing the risk of a collision.

In Canada, 40,673 vehicles are part of the recall, which affects the following models:
- 2022-2025 C40 Recharge
- 2023-2025 S60
- 2022-2025 S90
- 2023-2025 V60 (including V60 Cross Country)
- 2022-2025 V90 Cross Country
- 2021-2025 XC40 (including XC40 Recharge)
- 2022-2025 XC60
- 2023-2025 XC90
Missing from that list are the fully electric EX30, EX40/EC40 and EX90 crossovers.
Volvo will notify owners by mail in the coming weeks. Scheduling an appointment won’t be necessary since the required software update can be performed over the air, the company says.
In late March, certain plug-in hybrid models from Volvo were recalled due to a problem inside the high-voltage battery that may cause the battery modules to overheat and short circuit, even when the vehicle is parked and turned off. The good news is that the recall applies only to a relatively small number of units in Canada—585, to be exact.
