#11714255 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | | 30,000 miles
The contact owns a 2022 Volvo XC60. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the instrument cluster display screen independently reset and then displayed a blank screen.

Even after the Volvo R10320 - WAM Upgrade recall, the backup camera is STILL unavailable at times when reversing. The recall and software update did not fix the issue. I would start the car and begin to reverse and met with "Camera is temporarily unavailable". I do not know what else do to as Volvo is slow to respond or provide anytime of upgrade or timely fix. This has happened multiple times and almost five times a week.
#11699891 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | | N/A miles
My car has been updated with software for a recall concerning the back up camera not operating when placed in reverse. This was an intermittent issue. The software has not fixed the problem as it continues to occur.
