Volvo Cars Issues Recall for 413,000 US Vehicles Over Rearview Camera Malfunction

Swedish automaker Volvo Cars is recalling 413,151 vehicles in the United States due to a rearview camera issue, as announced by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Thursday.

The recall affects various models, specifically the 2021–2025 XC40 series. This marks the second recall for these vehicles in the same markets, following an initial recall issued in May of last year. According to Volvo, this new recall is prompted by the discovery of an additional issue that leads to the same symptoms as the previous recall.

“The second recall follows the initial recall from May 2025, and is the result of an additional issue having been found that causes the same symptom,” the company stated.

To address this problem, Volvo is preparing a remedial software update for all affected vehicles. This update will be available at no cost to customers and can be implemented either by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, as confirmed by the NHTSA.
