Volvo Recalls over 120,000 Vehicles to Fix Automatic Braking Malfunction

Almost every Volvo car built between November 2018 and March 2020 is affected.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is recalling 2019 -2020 models : Volvo S60 and S90 sedans; V60, V60 Cross Country, V90, and V90 Cross Country station wagons; and XC40, XC60, and XC90 SUVs Recall Report 20V-144 .

The Defect

The problem is due to a glitch between software and hardware of the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) control software, which may lead to the system failing to detect an obstacle in front of the vehicle while driving. The systems with pedestrian detection might not recognize obstacles. As a result, a crash could occur that otherwise might have been prevented.

The Remedy

Volvo dealers will update the incompatible software, free of charge. The automaker will notify owners of affected vehicles in May. Owners may also contact Volvo at 800-458-1552.
