The fundamental problem is not in the structure of the camera itself, but in a software defect, which can lead to the lack of display of the camera during driving. Under certain conditions, an error code may be activated and prevent the image from appearing. Although the exact nature of this error code is not yet specified, the result will be to see the error message “Camera is not available” by drivers.

Volvo for the first time in the spring of 2021 became aware of a possible defect in the system. At that time, the first report on the appearance of an error message was filed and 57 more reports have been recorded since then. The investigation into the problem intensified a few months ago and eventually led to a widespread call.

Fortunately, this is a relatively simple problem that will be easily modified. Volvo is set to release a software update for these cars, and the process of information to authorized dealers has already begun.
