FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's automatic emergency braking system uses cameras and sensors to detect obstacles and stop your car if needed. In some 2019-2020 models, a software glitch can prevent this system from working as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the automatic emergency braking system fails, it could mean you're more likely to be in a crash, especially in situations where you're driving at high speeds or in heavy traffic.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will update the software that controls the safety system, so it works correctly. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
