The National Consumer Commission has issued a recall for 372 Volvo EX30 vehicles in South Africa due to a potential battery fault.
The recall affects certain 2024-2026 EX30 models sold in Gauteng from December 29, 2025.
According to Volvo, the high-voltage battery in these cars may, in rare cases, overheat when charged above a certain level, posing a potential fire risk.
As an immediate precaution, owners of the affected vehicles should limit their maximum charge level to 70% until repaired. Volvo urges owners to contact their nearest authorised dealership to arrange a free inspection and repair.
All corrective work for this recall will be performed at no cost to the consumer.
