2026 Volvo XC90 recalls

On [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I was driving my 2026 Volvo XC90 (VIN: [XXX], mileage: 12,393) westbound on [XXX], at approximately 50 mph. While travelling on a straight road, with vehicles passing in the adjacent left lane and no apparent hazard ahead, my vehicle suddenly initiated extremely aggressive automatic emergency braking. A collision warning and audible alert occurred almost simultaneously with the braking. The deceleration was so severe that my seatbelt locked, throwing me forward against the restraint and causing physical pain. The brakes then released, and the vehicle continued normally. I was driving manually, without adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist engaged. This app

On July 27, 2026, I was driving my 2026 Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid at approximately 70 mph on the highway with 2,160 miles on the odometer. Without warning, a turtle-mode indicator illuminated and the vehicle's speed was electronically limited, dropping from 70 mph to approximately 50 mph while in moving traffic. A "Propulsion System - Service Required" message appeared along with the check engine light. At the same time the air conditioning stopped cooling; the high-voltage electric A/C compressor had lost power. Ambient temperature was 88F. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Volvo dealer. The dealer contacted the Volvo technical hotline and found fault code P0A7A00, an internal fault

Was driving on a freeway when tire pressure light came on and tire blew out a few minutes later. I could not see the events of what happened behind me, but when my tire blew I got over to the right shoulder as safely as possible to move out of the way of oncoming traffic on the freeway. This incident occurred after only 2 months of driving car (3,000 miles on the car).

The contact owns a 2026 Volvo XC90 PHEV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal odor inside the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact refused to drive the vehicle due to the abnormal odor. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact rented a vehicle for a while to go to scheduled appointments. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

While my own 2026 Volvo EX90 was in for warranty repair (air conditioning compressor failure, believed related to a recent over-the-air software update), the dealership provided me with a loaner vehicle that exhibits its own intermittent climate control malfunction: the air conditioning shuts off completely when the vehicle comes to a stop and resumes when the vehicle is put back in motion. This occurs consistently and unpredictably during normal driving. I am filing this as a related report to a prior NHTSA complaint I submitted regarding my own EX90's air conditioning/compressor failure, as this may indicate a broader pattern with climate control systems on this platform rather than an iso
