Volvo Recalls Over 4 Lakh Cars in US Over Potential Rearview Camera Defect

Volvo has announced a recall of over 4 lakh vehicles in the United States due to a potential defect in the rearview camera system. The issue could prevent the camera feed from displaying properly, posing a safety risk by reducing rear visibility and increasing the chance of accidents. The recall affects multiple models across recent production years and has been prompted by reports of intermittent or complete camera failure. Volvo has stated it will notify affected owners and offer free software updates or repairs to resolve the issue. The move highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to vehicle safety and regulatory compliance. Investigations are underway to determine the root cause and ensure corrective measures are effectively implemented across all impacted units.

Which Volvo Models Are Affected by the US Recall?

Volvo has notified about a major vehicle recall to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), involving over 4 lakh cars from model years 2021 to 2025. The issue concerns a software defect that can cause the rearview camera display to fail when reversing, leaving drivers without visual assistance and potentially compromising safety.

This recall comes shortly after Polestar, a former Volvo affiliate, pulled more than 27,000 Polestar 2 cars in the U.S. for a similar camera issue. The Polestar 2 shares its vehicle architecture with certain Volvo models, a result of the companies’ past collaboration. In a related update, Volvo has also announced job cuts, reducing its workforce by 5 per cent at the Charleston, South Carolina plant. The layoffs are part of a broader reorganization of the company’s U.S. operations, which recently included suspending its earnings forecast amid rising cost pressures from international tariffs.
