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.
On certain vehicles, the Telematics and Driver Support Systems may not function as designed due to a software error. In the event of a crash, this could mean that the Emergency Assist system would not alert Volvo and provide the GPS coordinates of the vehicle. This could create a risk of no response from emergency services. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software.
