2021-2025 Volvo Models Recall 25V282: Rear Camera

Recall 25V282 covers 413,151 2021-2025 Volvo vehicles for a rearview camera image that does not display. Free software update at any franchised Volvo dealer.

Volvo is recalling 413,151 2021-2025 vehicles, including XC40, S90, and EC40 models, because the rearview camera image can fail to appear when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. A missing camera view reduces what the driver can see behind the vehicle and increases crash risk; Volvo dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?

The Wide Angle Vision Module software controls the camera view that appears on the center display when a 2021-2025 Volvo is shifted into reverse. That display gives the driver a rear view that mirrors and turning your head cannot fully cover. On the affected S60, V90CC, C40BEV, V60CC, S90, XC90, V90, XC60, XC40, V60, EX40, and EC40 vehicles, the system must show that image to meet the rear visibility rule.

The problem is in the software. Under certain conditions, a fault code is set and the backup camera image is unavailable for the rest of that driving cycle. The hardware is not described as the difference between recalled and non-recalled vehicles; Volvo identifies the correction as new software.

The warning sign is on the center display. It shows "Camera is temporarily not available." If the vehicle has park assist warnings, rear automatic braking, or cross traffic alert, those features still work when an obstacle is detected.

Who's affected?

The scope spans sedans, wagons, SUVs, and crossovers across the 2021-2025 model years, all tied to Wide Angle Vision Module software.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

If the rearview camera image does not display, the driver has less view behind the vehicle, which increases crash risk while backing up. The center display shows "Camera is temporarily not available" when this happens. Use mirrors, turn your head, and schedule the software update. Repair is free at any franchised Volvo dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2025 Volvo S60, V90CC, C40BEV, V60CC, S90, XC90, V90, XC60, XC40, V60, EX40, or EC40 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to schedule the free rearview-camera software update that fixes the missing reverse-camera display.
  3. Bring the recall notice if you received one, or reference recall number 25V282 when you call.
  4. Use extra care backing up until the update is complete. Check behind the vehicle before reversing and use mirrors.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Volvo technician updates the rearview camera software. Volvo can also send the same software update over the air, free of charge. The repair is available now, and parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you paid out of pocket for the same rearview camera problem before the recall repair was performed and before receiving the owner letter, contact Volvo Customer Care to ask about reimbursement. Keep your repair paperwork for that conversation.
