Volvo is recalling certain 2024–2025 EX30 vehicles (Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance; 233 units) identified by model year and vehicle type. The recall follows identification of high-voltage battery cells from a supplier that can overheat when charged to a high level, which could lead to a battery fire and may trigger an overheating warning on the dashboard advising drivers to stop and exit. A remedy is being developed, Volvo says; affected EX30 drivers can set a maximum charge limit of 70% in the car’s charge settings, and the company says not all EX30s or other models are affected.
