Owner report 11553357 · 2023-11-03 (November 3, 2023)
When using the reverse or 360 views of the camera system on the vehicle at night, the cameras appear to rely on the front camera (or highest-brightness image) for exposure control. Since your headlights are up front and usually are the brightest spot, this results in your backup camera (and blind spot views) being completely black at night. This is a critical safety issue for visibility at nighttime with this vehicle and may result in injury or property damage.

Owner report 11576180 · 2024-03-08 (March 8, 2024)
After two days of ownership and 148 miles, the car threw a check engine light w/ the following message: "SLOW DOWN. The vehicle will reduce speed. Propulsion system failure." followed by, "Propulsion system service required.". This consequently causes the car to go into 'limp mode' unexpectedly while driving, drastically reducing speed. We are then instructed to take it to a shop. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When driving at about 10mph in my kids daycare driveway on a downward slope towards the main road, I depressed the brake pedal to stop and the car did not slow down. A few feet before intersecting the main road, I depressed the brake pedal fully to the floor and the car panic stopped. No braking action happened until the brake pedal was fully depressed to the floor.

Reported: 2025-05-08 (May 8, 2025)
Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2021-2025 XC40, 2022 V90, 2022-2025 S90, V90CC, C40, XC60, 2023-2025 S60, V60, V60CC, XC90, and 2025 EC40 and EX40 vehicles.
