Considered as a critical concern by critical management team 2023.01.11; Field service action decision confirmed by Volvo Car Corporation 2023.01.18; Condition detected by market vehicle report; Number of vehicle reports with the conditions, reported to Volvo Cars from National Sales Company 68; Total number of cars included in Vehicle reports concerning the condition 71; Implementation date of Field Service Action 2023.01.19; In the beginning of October Volvo cars received the first report indicating issues with the brake pedal. In the middle of October one additional report was received indicating a similar issue. The reports increased during November and an investigation was initiated to review the customer symptom and a possible common root cause. In December the investigation was escalated to the Critical Concern Action Process (CCAP), the issue was concluded as potentially critical and the Critical Concern Management Team (CCMT) initiated a technical investigation to conclude customer symptom, risk assessment, testing, root cause etc. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-012

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
On the 11th of January the technical investigation was completed, the CCMT team took the decision to start a recall preparation as it was judged as an increased risk towards motor vehicle safety.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : To remedy concerned vehicles, Volvo Cars will update the vehicle software
with a new logic in the BCM2. This software update will also be available via OTA release at a later date. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Concerned vehicles are certain model year 2023 S60, V60, V60CC, V90CC, XC60, XC90, XC40 and C40 vehicles. Introduction of the new BCM2 HW occurred on 2022.08.15. The previous HW was depleted therefore the introduction date varies between production plants. The new SW was introduced on 2023.01.12.

Description of the Defect : A certain diagnostic test case that checks the grounding may put the BCM2 in a faulty state potentially resulting in a loss of brake support functions.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : A reduction in brake support functions can increase the risk of a crash.
Description of the Cause : Lack of robustness in software compatibility with a specific BCM2 HW version. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : This deviation may not occur during an ongoing brake event. If the deviation occurs the system will always enter hydraulic fallback ensuring that the vehicle maintain braking capability. The customer may experience a hard/stiff brake pedal and potential loss of brake support functions such as: • Brake-by-wire.
• ABS, ESC, and traction control.
• ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), Pilot assist and OPD (One pedal drive)
• All active safety and city safety functions described in the user manual that involve braking The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-012 Page 4 The driver display will always warn the customer with DIM messages and malfunction indication lamps if this issue occurs. This is an intermittent issue, and the faulty state will remain through the drive cycle until the vehicle enters deep sleep. Volvo Cars centrally has not received any reports alleging injuries, fatalities, or crashes related to this condition.

Country : Germany Chronology :
Considered as a critical concern by critical management team 2023.01.11; Field service action decision confirmed by Volvo Car Corporation 2023.01.18; Condition detected by market vehicle report; Number of vehicle reports with the conditions, reported to Volvo Cars from National Sales Company 68; Total number of cars included in Vehicle reports concerning the condition 71; Implementation date of Field Service Action 2023.01.19; In the beginning of October Volvo cars received the first report indicating issues with the brake pedal. In the middle of October one additional report was received indicating a similar issue. The reports increased during November and an investigation was initiated to review the customer symptom and a possible common root cause. In December the investigation was escalated to the Critical Concern Action Process (CCAP), the issue was concluded as potentially critical and the Critical Concern Management Team (CCMT) initiated a technical investigation to conclude customer symptom, risk assessment, testing, root cause etc. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-012

On the 11th of January the technical investigation was completed, the CCMT team took the decision to start a recall preparation as it was judged as an increased risk towards motor vehicle safety.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : To remedy concerned vehicles, Volvo Cars will update the vehicle software
with a new logic in the BCM2. This software update will also be available via OTA release at a later date. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Concerned vehicles are certain model year 2023 S60, V60, V60CC, V90CC, XC60, XC90, XC40 and C40 vehicles. Introduction of the new BCM2 HW occurred on 2022.08.15. The previous HW was depleted therefore the introduction date varies between production plants. The new SW was introduced on 2023.01.12.
The production fix is software and will be implemented on January 31, 2023.
