Why has my Volvo navigation system stopped showing traffic information?
I own a 2018 Volvo V90 which I have had from new. The Sensus navigation system has never been very good and about a year ago stopped giving traffic information. I checked online and found that there was a known fault. I took it to Volvo for a free upgrade which worked for about a month then stopped working again. Is there a fix in the offing?

Volvo has acknowledged that some owners are experiencing issues with traffic data on the Sensus navigation system and it would seem that a software update is being rolled out which should solve the issue, although whether this will be a permanent fix remains to be seen. We would suggest contacting your dealer to ask if the update is available.
