Repairs begin in June for 5,600 units of the electric SUV; automaker recommends maintaining a load limit of 70% until the service is performed
Volvo do Brasil has made official the definitive recall of the EX30 electric SUV — the brand’s largest volume model in the country. The measure aims to solve a fire risk in the model’s high-voltage battery, identified earlier this year. Until now, owners followed a palliative recommendation to limit vehicle recharging to mitigate possible overheating.
With the new update, the manufacturer has established the repair schedule, which will begin in June 2026. The components needed for the replacement are expected to land on Brazilian soil in May. The service is a direct response to a hardware failure detected in the power modules, which can compromise the safety of the electrical system under specific conditions of use.

According to the technical report reported by FOUR WHEELS, the recall will consist of the physical replacement of the affected battery modules and a simultaneous update of the power management software. Until the vehicle undergoes the intervention, Volvo reinforces the guidance that users do not exceed 70% of the total load, avoiding voltage peaks that can trigger internal short circuits.
The logistics of the service require specific care: the average time for the service to be performed is six hours and the automaker requests that the car be delivered to the dealership with a maximum of 30% charge. In Brazil, the recall covers 5,600 units of the Single Motor Extended Range E60 version, from the 2024 and 2025 model years. The chassis involved, of a non-sequential nature, vary between the RS000462 and TS178122 ends.
Free scheduling can now be done through the Volvo Service Center (0800 878 1176) or through the brand’s official recall channel via email. The case of the EX30 is closely followed by the sector, given the model’s leading role in the strategy of total electrification of the Swedish company’s fleet in the domestic market.
