BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
Volvo Car USA, LLC
What Happened
The rearview camera system in your vehicle uses software to display a live image of what's behind you when you're in reverse. Unfortunately, some 2021-2025 models might have a glitch that prevents this image from showing up.
Risk if Unfixed
If the camera image doesn't display when you're reversing, you'll have a reduced view of the area behind your vehicle, which could lead to a crash, especially when backing up or parking.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will update the camera system software for free, or you can get it done through an over-the-air update. This is a free fix, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
