The automaker received a complaint about a vehicle sending out the wrong GPS data in October, a problem Volvo considered  "critical."

The supplier found a software deviation in the vehicle connectivity modules affected driver support features and caused illumination of warning lights when starting the vehicles.

The vehicles were built prior to October 30, 2018, the date new updated software was installed in the models during production.

The Volvo recall should begin January 7, 2019, when dealers will correct the software.

Owners with questions should call 800-458-1552 and use recall number R39917.
