Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was parked at the grocery store. Got in the car and selected Reverse. The Infotainment screen cleared and produced a Camera is Temporarily Unavailable. I tried the same thing several other times. Same result. My software level is 3.6.4. My understanding is this level includes the fix for Recall R10320.”

NHTSA complaint #11673166, filed 2025-07

“After recall took my car for repair to the volvo dealer. They installed the new software version 3.7 but it did not fix the problem..still i am getting backup camera not available massage.”

NHTSA complaint #11677917, filed 2025-08

“On 7/5 car's cameras (all of them) went off again when and Camera Not Available message displayed on console. We had already gotten the NHTSA required software upgrade on 7/2 that was to correct this problem. Once the vehicle was turned off - and started again -- the cameras worked. But it's anyone's guess how long that will last. I called the dealership and they reported that about two other vehicles that had the recall and had their software upgraded also came back in with the same complaint. There's no remedy yet from Volvo. …”

“When I tried to back up my car, the backup camera on the screen keeps displaying temporarily unavailable warning on the screen. This happens 5 out of 10 times...”

NHTSA complaint #11661552, filed 2025-05

“I was getting the Rear Camera Not Available warning, starting months ago. I received the notification of the Volvo recall R10320. I scheduled a software inspection/upgrade at the dealer. On July 8, the dealer installed the newer software that supposed to take care of it. Revision 3.6.4 was installed. It seemed okay for a week. Now the same warning message comes up about 25% of the time. Perhaps an even newer version may have fixed the issue? I made another appointment to check on it. But the dealer cannot see the car for another week.”
