Due to a software/hardware incompatability, the Automatic Emergency Brake (AEB) system may not detect obstacles and engage as intended.

If the AEB system does not engage as intended, the risk of a crash can increase.

What to do

Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will update the Active Safety Domain Master (ASDM) software free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin May 1, 2020.
