Jan 8 (Reuters) - Swedish automaker Volvo Cars is recalling 413,151 vehicles in the United States over an issue with the rearview camera, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Thursday.
The software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge, NHTSA said.
The recall, which includes 2021–2025 XC40 models, is the second for the same vehicles in the same markets after one issued in May last year, the company told Reuters on Thursday.
"The second recall follows the initial recall from May 2025, and is the result of an additional issue having been found that causes the same symptom," it said.
The automaker also said it is preparing a remedial software for all affected cars, which is expected to roll out over-the-air in the coming weeks.

A recall is a request to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects. In the automotive industry, it often involves updating software or repairing vehicles to ensure safety.
A rearview camera is a safety feature in vehicles that provides a view of the area behind the car to assist drivers while reversing, helping to prevent accidents.
An over-the-air update is a method of wirelessly delivering software updates to devices, such as vehicles, allowing manufacturers to fix bugs or improve features without requiring physical access.
