Overview
- The recall covers EX30 Single Motor Extended Range and Twin-Motor Performance variants that use NMC batteries, while the base LFP version is not implicated.
- Volvo says affected high-voltage battery modules will be replaced at no cost and it is contacting owners to coordinate repairs.
- Owners are advised to cap charging at 70 percent as an interim safety measure after earlier guidance in several countries to avoid full charges and parking close to buildings.
- Volvo reports its supplier Shandong Geely Sunwoda has resolved the defect and will deliver new cells for the replacements.
- Reuters estimates the battery modules alone could cost about $195 million, though Volvo characterizes such cost calculations as speculative.
