## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2022595](/recalls/tc/2022595.md), 2022-10-20: Visual System. 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.
- [2020099](/recalls/tc/2020099.md), 2020-03-13: Brakes. Issue: On certain vehicles, the automatic emergency braking system \(AEB\) may not apply the brakes automatically when it detects a possible collision. In addition, the system may not warn of a potential crash with a non\-moving vehicle or object. Note: The regular brake system and all other functions in the vehicle are not affected by this problem.  Safety Risk: The AEB system may not provide driver warnings and apply the brakes automatically to help avoid a crash.  Corrective Actions: Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
