Volvo Group recalls certain vehicles due to fire and safety hazards

Volvo Group Ireland has announced a recall affecting multiple models of Volvo vehicles due to identified safety hazards. One significant concern involves the Volvo EX30 model, where investigations revealed a risk of overheating in the high voltage battery cell, which could potentially lead to a fire. This recall affects 442 vehicles produced between September 6, 2023, and August 12, 2025.

Additionally, the Volvo EX90 model is being recalled due to a production issue that may result in a missing crimp in the Power Operated Tailgate drive units. This defect could cause the tailgate spindle to separate during operation, posing a risk of injury as the tailgate may close unexpectedly. This recall affects 6 vehicles manufactured between January 24, 2024, and August 12, 2024.

Another recall pertains to the Volvo V60 model, where a defect in the seatbelt system's torsion bar may lead to inadequate performance during an impact, increasing the risk of injury. This affects 2 vehicles produced between June 25, 2025, and August 27, 2025. Furthermore, there is a recall for several models including the XC60, XC90, V60, XC40, and C40 due to a potential issue with braking functionality that may be temporarily disabled under certain conditions, affecting 473 vehicles produced between July 24, 2019, and June 11, 2025.

Consumers who own any of the affected vehicles are advised to contact their nearest Volvo Dealer or Authorized Repairer for further assistance. Volvo Cars Ireland Limited will also be reaching out directly to affected vehicle owners with more information on the recall process.
