Volvo is recalling 2019-2020 S60, S90, V60, V90, XC40, XC60, and XC90 vehicles because a software issue may prevent the automatic emergency braking system from engaging.

What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical vehicle system (Automatic Emergency Braking) that may fail to engage, increasing crash risk, but the source text does not report any specific injuries, deaths, or NHTSA 'death/serious injury' classifications.
