Transport Canada recalls
02- Electrical#2025364
1,100 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, water could leak into the connector between the engine bay wiring harness and the front bumper wiring harness. If this happens, there could be a loss of power steering and/or certain driver assistance systems may not work properly, including the pedestrian warning system and parking assistance system. Note: This problem could cause the vehicle not to start, the parking brake not to release and/or different warnings to display. Safety Risk: A loss of power steering assist would result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, driver assistance systems that don't work properly could increase the risk of a crash and/or injury. Corrective Actions: Polestar will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the front bumper wiring harness and connector on the engine bay wiring harness.
- Visual System#2025243
287 units affected
Issue: Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image to display the wrong camera view. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Volvo will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the vehicle software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Volvo dealership.
