Volvo EX90 Recall 25V071: Headlight Shutters May Close While Driving, Reducing Visibility

NHTSA campaign 25V071, reported February 7, 2025, 2,061 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A software error in the low power controller can cause the headlight shutters to close over the high and low beams while the vehicle is being driven. When the headlights are blocked this way, the driver's visibility at night or in poor conditions is reduced.

A loss of headlight function while driving can make it harder to see the road and other vehicles, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should take this recall seriously and have the repair done promptly.

The remedy is a manual update of the low power controller software, performed free of charge at an authorized Volvo dealer. Owner notification letters were mailed March 12, 2025. You can contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552, and you can check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
