Recalls: check by VIN

NHTSA files recalls for the Volvo C40 P8 Recharge under individual trim or body names rather than "C40 P8 Recharge", so we can't match them automatically. Enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the definitive list. The owner complaints below are matched correctly.

Repeated intermittent problems with safety equipment: rear camera, audio feedback on turn signal. Dealer says this appears to be a failed IHU component---but problems repeatedly reported earlier (2024) with response these issues would be remedied with a software update. Problem incidence has increased after major software update this spring. 4/25/2024ema…

07/14/2026 · Transmission / drivetrain
Multiple recurring electronic, keyless entry, and drivability defects on my 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge, VIN [XXX]. The vehicle was purchased used through Vroom and financed by UACC. Serious problems existed prior to the factory warranty expiration in April 2026. Volvo San Francisco was made aware of the issues on multiple occasions but claimed they “could not…

03/21/2026 · Visibility (wipers / glass)
The car’s infotainment system repeatedly freezes and force restarts which causes the HVAC system to stop working and the windshield defroster to stop cleaning fog and frost leading to poor visibility.

01/31/2026 · Backup camera
Intermittent rear backup camera displayed camera unavailable instead of live video footage of what's behind the car. Inspection available upon request. Reduced visibility to rear of vehicle may lead to unsafe vehicle reverse. Problem hard to reproduce at dealer or independent service center as issue is intermittent and inconsistent. The component has not…

On multiple occasions, the vehicle’s infotainment system has malfunctioned, and when this occurs, the turn signals stop working entirely. This failure has happened while the vehicle was in active use, including during a long trip, leaving us without functioning turn signals for an extended period. This creates a serious and immediate safety hazard for both…

12/01/2025 · Backup camera
The rear camera has never worked properly. When I put the car in reverse, sometimes it doesn’t show an image. This happens most days. This has been over a minute in duration, though sometimes shorter. This has happened hundreds of times. It also sometimes will display a still image when moving, which of course is very dangerous as it gives a sense of safety…

01/10/2025 · Vehicle Speed Control
This vehicle is an electric vehicle and driven primarily in one pedal drive. When stopped, without any input to the accelerator, it will sometimes start moving forward. This has happened at least fifty times in the 2.5 years I have owned this vehicle. I have been fortunate enough to not strike another car (or pedestrian) at a stop light when the car will su…

01/10/2025 · Vehicle Speed Control
I drive in the standard one pedal driving mode which allows for the car to brake and come to a complete stop using the regen system by simply releasing the accelerator. The issue is that I had come to a stop behind another car at traffic lights with my foot of the accelerator. In one pedal driving there is no need to hold the brake pedal as the car should…
