Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 S60, S80, XC60, and XC70 vehicles equipped with keyless ignition. The recall covers 7,767 vehicles in total.

In the affected vehicles, the Central Electronic Module (CEM) may not perform as intended. This can result in the front windshield wipers running continuously when the ignition is on. Additionally, the turn signals, high beams, and headlight switch might not work. Malfunctioning head lamps and turn signals increase the risk of a crash.

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will upgrade the CEM software free of charge. The recall began on October 3, 2013. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
