Volvo XC40
Model Overview
The XC40 is Volvo's first-ever compact crossover model. Not everyone is a fan of crossovers, but Volvo wants to win them over with this stylish vehicle, which is one of the most cohesive designs of the brand's modern history. At its 2019 introduction, the XC40 was also Volvo's least-expensive model. It charms with playful interior touches, good performance, and a drivetrain and cabin features well-suited to a cold Canadian winter.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
R10217
Units Affected:
1,602
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a problem in the brake control module (BCM) could cause reduced braking. It could also cause different safety systems to stop working. This can include the antilock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, adaptive cruise control (ACC), pilot assist and one pedal drive (OPD).
Safety Risk:
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, vehicle safety systems that stop working suddenly could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
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.

Issue:
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.
Safety Risk:
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.
Corrective Actions:
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.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat.

Safety Risk:
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.
