2022 VOLVO XC40 — Complaint #1786457
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM filed January 4, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1786457 (ODI reference 11446169) concerns a 2022 VOLVO XC40 and was filed on January 4, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 30, 2021. The vehicle had 1,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: camera system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same VOLVO XC40 cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: camera system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 VOLVO XC40 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact leased a 2022 Volvo XC40. The contact stated that while using the backup camera at night, the brightness of the taillights would obstruct his vision while reversing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided him with a case number. The contact also notified the dealer of the failure and an inspection was performed. The inspection determined no fault with the camera system. The manufacturer then sent him an email that also informed him that there were no defects with the camera. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,500.
