ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM)

The defect
Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2022-2023 S60, V60, S90L, XC60, and XC90 vehicles. An electronic control module (ECM) software error may prevent the combustion engine from starting, causing a loss of drive power.
What it can cause
The vehicle may lose drive power as the high voltage battery is depleted, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will update the ECM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 8, 2022. Owners may contact Volvo Car's customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Car's number for this recall is R10198.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 15,674 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 20 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V605000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 5 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 204 complaints with NHTSA, 29 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the engine and engine cooling, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V908000 (back over prevention), 25V282000 (back over prevention), 25V179000 (electrical system), 23V827000 (seat belts).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
