Volvo Initiates Global EX30 Recall Over Battery Fire Risk

The company cites a supplier defect that can overheat some high‑voltage cells at high states of charge.

Overview

  • Australia’s filing covers 2,815 model-year 2024 EX30s, with an interim advisory to keep the battery below a 70% charge.
  • Volvo Car Malaysia says selected 2024–2026 Single Motor and Twin Motor variants are affected, with a local recall to begin as soon as possible.
  • Volvo says the issue is tied to cells from a particular supplier and does not involve all EX30s or any other Volvo models.
  • The brand reports a very small incident rate of about 0.02% of identified potentially affected cars and no related injuries.
  • Affected owners will be contacted to schedule free repairs at authorised dealerships once the remedy is ready.
