And there&#8217;s no real fix yet. Here&#8217;s what we know.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Does The Volvo EX30 Recall Issue Involve?<\/h2>\n<p>On 9 January 2026, a notice was published on the Australian Government&#8217;s Vehicle Recall website (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au\/recalls\/rec-006524\">Notice: REC-006524<\/a>) warning that all variants of the EX30 manufactured in 2024 were affected, totaling 2,815 cars.<\/p>\n<p>The warning provided is the battery cell modules may overheat at high charge levels, and if this occurs, it could lead to a vehicle fire.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s The Fix?<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, there was no proper fix identified and until one is, owners have been advised to keep the battery charge level below 70%. This can be set in the Charging setting menu in the vehicle display (Settings &gt; Charging).<\/p>\n<p>When a fix is available, affected Australian owners will be contacted by Volvo requesting them to schedule an appointment to have the repair work carried out at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>The contact points for this recall are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contact phone: 1300 787 802<\/li>\n<li>Contact email: <a href=\"mailto:owners.australia@volvocars.com\">owners.australia@volvocars.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Contact website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvocars.com.au\">https:\/\/www.volvocars.com.au<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/volvocaraustralia.com.au\/recall\/\">Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) checker<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/recall-files\/REC-006524-VIN-List-1.csv\">downloadable VIN list available here<\/a> in CSV format for owners to check their vehicle against. The VIN on a Volvo EX30 in Australia can be found on the dashboard (visible through the windscreen), on a label in the driver&#8217;s door jamb, in the Volvo Cars app, via the centre display (Settings &gt; System &gt; About), or on registration\/servicing documents.<\/p>\n<p>It was disappointing that there was *no* related EX30 announcement on the Australian Volvo website when I checked as recently as an hour ago. And as far as I&#8217;m aware, there haven&#8217;t been any press releases from the Australian division yet either.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the UK the company has reportedly released a statement indicating while there have been no reports of related personal injuries (yet), Volvo is treating the situation very seriously. Apparently, Volvo began notifying regulators in various countries about the battery issue last month.<\/p>\n<p>In Australia, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts is the responsible regulator for this recall.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Company Manufactured The Batteries?<\/h2>\n<p>The Volvo EX30 uses Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries for extended-range and performance models.<\/p>\n<p>Volvo sources batteries for its EX30 from several manufacturers. These include Sunwoda for extended-range NMC packs in markets such as the UK, US, and China, and CATL along with LG Chem<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/volvo-ex30-recall-mb3357\/#en-97203-1' id='enref-97203-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(97203)'>1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Volvo EX30<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvocars.com\/au\/cars\/ex30-electric\/\"> Volvo EX30<\/a> is a compact, all-electric 5-seater SUV.\u00a0 The EX30 is built in China and based on the Geely SEA EV-only platform. Volvo is owned by Geely.<\/p>\n<p>Volvo Australia announced pricing and details for the EX30 in June 2023, with the first customer deliveries beginning around late 2023\/early 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The MY 2025 Volvo EX30 is priced at $66,290 drive away in Australia for the Single Motor Extended Range Plus and $73,580 drive away for the Twin Motor Performance Ultra. That&#8217;s without optional extras.<\/p>\n<p>The Single Motor Extended Range Plus NMC battery&#8217;s capacity is 69 kWh and offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/ev-real-world-range-mb3344\/\">WLTP range<\/a> of up to 480 km <a href=\"https:\/\/aeva.asn.au\/files\/3161\/\">according to<\/a> the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA). The Twin Motor Performance Ultra also has a 69 kWh NMC battery and a claimed WLTP range of up to 460 km.<\/p>\n<h2>Electric Vehicles And Optimal Charging Levels<\/h2>\n<p>For daily use, some EV manufacturers recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/ev-charging-guide\/\"> charging<\/a> to a maximum of 80% to 90% to preserve battery health and longevity. Consistently charging to 100% can accelerate the degradation of certain lithium-ion battery cells over time; particularly in NMC chemistry batteries. It doesn&#8217;t appear to be such an issue where LFP (Lithium-Iron Phosphate) batteries are used.<\/p>\n<p>For daily driving and outside of this recall, Volvo usually recommends charging the EX30 to 90%.<\/p>\n<p>Battery charging rates slow down significantly after reaching 80% in all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/\">electric vehicles<\/a>. This is a safety feature, as shifting to a slower &#8216;trickle charge&#8217; prevents risk of overheating, reduces chemical stress, and prolongs battery health.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why when topping up an EV at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/public\/\">public charging stations<\/a> when out on the road, the generally accepted etiquette is to charge to 80% and then move on to free up the charger; particularly at busy locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Volvo EX30 electric vehicles manufactured in 2024 are being recalled in Australia due to an issue that could potentially lead to a fire.
