Volvo Cars to recall 40,000 electric SUVs over battery fire risk
- On Dec 30, Volvo posted a recall notice on the LTA system and expanded the EX30 recall in Singapore to include another 58 Single Motor Extended Range owners.
- Volvo said the recall stems from a potential high-voltage battery hardware fault, and vehicle owners are asked to await inspection while service centres replace affected EX30 high-voltage battery parts free of charge.
- A January report showed the global EX30 fleet affected 33,777 cars, including 10,440 in Britain, 2,815 in Australia, and 40 in the US.
- The defect can cause overheating above a 70 per cent charge threshold, forcing affected owners in Singapore to charge every four or five days; Singapore owner Carl Skadian, 64, was informed on Feb 21 by dealers via WhatsApp, while Wearnes Automotive confirmed no incidents.
- Wearnes said it has notified all 194 owners, and replacement parts are being manufactured and shipped to Singapore, following the revision of the initial Singapore batch from 143 to 136 after seven were confirmed unaffected.
