2023 VOLVO XC40 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Volvo XC40 has 2 recalls, both centered on brake failure: a software problem in the brake control module can cause reduced braking or a complete loss of brake function, particularly when coasting downhill using B mode or One Pedal Drive. When brake function is reduced or lost, stopping distances extend and the risk of a crash rises. The same brake control module issue can also cause several safety systems to drop offline without warning, including anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, and the driver assist steering feature known as Pilot Assist. These systems failing suddenly while driving removes important layers of crash protection that drivers may be relying on without realizing they are no longer active.
