Volvo has issued a recall concerning 121,605 of its vehicles for possible automatic emergency failure. The automaker filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) last week.
Automatic emergency braking has brought the maximum convenience for a lot of drivers and passengers. It’s a function that makes people safe, but if the system is not able to detect any obstacles, then your Volvo is better off back to the dealership.
According to the document submitted by Volvo, the models included in the recall concern 2019-2020 S60, V60, V60 Cross Country, S90L, V90, V90 Cross Country, XC40, XC60, and XC90 models.
The issue emerges from a hardware and software incompatibility, which avoids sensors from detecting an object. While the driver should not wholly rely on automatic emergency braking, the feature does help a lot in decreasing the risk of a crash.
Volvo has a solution for the auto emergency brake issue. Like every other recall, it would come free of charge as well. The recall will begin May 1.
