Volvo has launched a partial recall of the EX30 in the UK after identifying a potential issue with the high-voltage battery. The action covers Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance versions fitted with NMC-chemistry packs. The concern traces to components from a specific supplier used in 2024–2026 model-year vehicles.

According to Volvo, overheating of an individual cell is possible only under particular conditions. If temperatures rise, the car will alert the driver on the display. While a final remedy is being prepared, owners are advised to limit the state of charge to 70% to reduce thermal load.

The company emphasizes that this is a precaution targeting a limited number of cars. Customers are receiving electronic notifications with recommendations and a promise of further information.

Updates will be rolled out in stages, and recall decisions will be made locally rather than applied automatically in every country. The episode is a reminder that, even with today’s electric cars, managing battery temperatures remains crucial, especially amid a mix of suppliers and new vehicle architectures.

Even so, Volvo is acting ahead of the curve. The brand is moving before incidents occur, a stance that, in a tightening EV market, tends to reinforce trust and underscore a steady commitment to safety.
