Mar 1, 2026Backup camera & sensors
Within 4 weeks of a brand new Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV, the backup camera would not display picture when put in reverse gear potentially leading to a fatal crash. This was fixed by switching off the vehicle for five minutes and back on. This was a known recall with XC90 2021-2025 models with campaign number 25V282000. This appears to be a persistent issue in the 2026 model year as well.

Feb 2, 2026Backup camera & sensors
I turned on my brand new 2026 Volvo XC 90 and none of the cameras worked. I hard reset it three times and it still didn’t work. The message on the screen said “Camera view is temporarily unavailable. Press home button to close.” This is the second issue with the vehicle. First was apple car play, now, it’s the camera system.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
