🚨 Important Update for Volvo EV Owners! 🚨
Attention all Volvo EX30 owners in the UK! A significant recall is underway due to a potential fire risk associated with charging these electric vehicles. A total of 10,500 cars are being recalled in the UK, and across the globe, about 40,000 vehicles are affected. The issue? A small number of these cars have caught fire when the battery is charged beyond 70%.
Volvo UK’s Managing Director, Nicole Melillo Shaw, acknowledges this is a “scary” prospect and urges owners to limit their charging to 70% until a solution is in place. While inconvenient, your safety is a top priority, and Volvo is swiftly working to resolve the problem. They’ve pinpointed the issue and are prepping to fix affected vehicles as early as next week.
If you own a Volvo EX30, here’s what you should do:
– Restrict your charging to 70% and avoid leaving your vehicle unattended while charging indoors.
– Keep an eye out for any warning signs in your vehicle or app, and if anything seems odd, seek professional advice.
Volvo is in the process of contacting all affected owners, but you can also check directly with your local dealership or use Volvo’s recall checking tool for peace of mind. Remember, resolving this issue will not cost you anything.
Stay safe, stay informed, and let’s hope for a quick resolution to this “electrifying” challenge!
