Volvo Recalls Over 14,000 Defective Electric and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Over Braking System Failure Risk


Volvo is recalling more than 14,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles across the U.S. due to a software issue that could lead to complete brake failure under specific driving conditions.

According to the automaker, the recall affects 14,014 vehicles from model years 2020 through 2026. The issue stems from the braking control module’s software, which may malfunction after extended downhill coasting, particularly when “B” mode is engaged on plug-in hybrids or one-pedal drive is activated on electric models.

If drivers coast for more than 90 seconds without pressing the brake pedal, the system could fail to activate braking when needed, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall includes various Volvo models, including:

  • 2023–2025 S60
  • 2024–2025 V60
  • 2025 S90
  • 2022–2026 XC60
  • 2020–2026 XC90
  • 2023–2024 XC40 plug-in hybrids
  • 2023 C40
  • 2024–2026 EX40
  • 2025 EC40 electric vehicles
