21 November 2023

Transport Canada lists: S 60 2019–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the front-passenger airbag may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the airbag may not inflate properly in a crash.

Why it matters

An airbag that does not work properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the front-passenger airbag bolts.

20 October 2022

Transport Canada lists: C 40 2019–2023 · S 60 2019–2023 · S 90 2019–2023 · V 60 2019–2023 · and 4 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the top-view camera to display instead of the rearview camera image when you are reversing. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when reversing. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 360-degree park assist camera.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. If the update cannot be completed successfully, or for vehicles without over-the-air (OTA) update capability, Volvo will instruct you to schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuse for the low-pressure fuel pump may be too small. As a result, the fuse could blow and the engine could stall while driving.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the 15 A fuse for the low-pressure fuel pump with a 20 A fuse.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the flexible steel cable that attaches the seat belt to the outside of the front seats may weaken over time. As a result, the seat belt could detach.

Why it matters

A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front-outboard seat belt anchors.

On certain vehicles, the automatic emergency braking system (AEB) may not apply the brakes automatically when it detects a possible collision.

Suspension

Transport Canada recall 2019203 · manufacturer campaign R19938

25 April 2019

Transport Canada lists: S 60 2019

What is wrong

The locking nuts on the rear suspension toe links may not have been properly tightened during assembly. This could cause a toe link to detach, which would cause a sudden change in vehicle handling. It could also cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system to turn off.

Why it matters

A sudden change in vehicle handling could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the rear suspension toe link flange lock nuts. If a nut is found loose, both the bolt and nut will be replaced.
