On the 2022-2025 Volvo XC60, volvo Car USA has recalled 2022-2025 XC60 models because the rearview camera image may not appear on the center display when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Because the image can be absent, these XC60s do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, "Rear Visibility." NHTSA lists 413,151 units for the campaign as a whole, which spans many Volvo lines and model years — that figure is campaign-wide and is not a count of XC60s. The defect is in software, not the camera hardware or wiring. Volvo's internal number for the campaign is R10320, and owner notification letters went out June 27, 2025.

Common Symptoms

  • Rearview camera image does not appear on the center display when reverse is selected
  • Blank or missing rear camera view while backing up

How to Fix

The fix is a free software update. Volvo can deliver it over the air (OTA) on equipped vehicles, or a dealer can install it during a service visit — there is no charge either way. If you have not received the recall letter mailed June 27, 2025, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm whether your XC60 is included, or call Volvo Car customer service at 1-800-458-1552 and reference recall R10320. Until the update is applied, rely on mirrors and a shoulder check when backing up.

On the 2022-2025 Volvo XC60, the XC60 is one of the models named in Volvo Car USA's rear-visibility recall. On affected 2022-2025 XC60s, the rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse, which puts these vehicles out of compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, "Rear Visibility." NHTSA lists the component as back-over prevention software, and the consequence it states is that a camera image which does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases crash risk. Nothing in the recall record points to a failed camera, connector, or harness — the correction is a software update. Owners sometimes see the 413,151 units figure and assume it reflects XC60 volume; it does not. That number covers every vehicle in the campaign across all the Volvo models and years included. This campaign also replaces the earlier NHTSA recall 25V282.

Common Symptoms

  • Backup camera view missing when reverse is engaged
  • Driver has a reduced view of what is behind the vehicle while reversing

How to Fix

No cost to the owner. A dealer can install the updated software, and Volvo is also pushing the fix as an over-the-air update to eligible cars, after which the reverse camera image displays as it should. Owner notification letters were mailed February 24, 2026; VIN lookup opened February 16, 2026. Run your XC60's VIN through nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm inclusion and current status — that is the fastest way to tell whether an OTA update has already taken care of it. Volvo Car customer service: 1-800-458-1552, recall number R10333. If your XC60 was previously repaired under recall 25V282, it is covered again here and needs the newer remedy.

On the 2018-2025 Volvo XC60, the second-generation XC60 (SPA platform) suffers from intermittent infotainment system reboots, black screen events, and frozen displays. The Sensus system (2018-2021) and Google-based system (2022+) both exhibit this behavior, often triggered by software bugs, corrupted map data, or failing APIX module. Loss of the center screen disables climate controls, navigation, and camera systems.

Common Symptoms

  • Center screen goes black while driving
  • Infotainment reboots repeatedly
  • Backup camera unavailable
  • Climate controls unresponsive
  • Apple CarPlay/Android Auto disconnects

How to Fix

First try a system reset by holding the home button for 15+ seconds. Check for pending OTA or dealer software updates. If reboots persist, the APIX module or center display unit may need replacement under warranty or Volvo extended coverage. Some owners report improvement after deleting and re-downloading navigation maps.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $1,800
