Volvo EX30 high voltage battery can overheat and catch fire

NHTSA campaign 26V103000 · Reported 2026-02-20 · Volvo Car USA, LLC

critical How serious is it? About this label

An overheating battery can start a fire, so this is serious — keep your charging limited to 70 percent and get the vehicle to a dealer as soon as you can.

What's wrong, in plain English

The large battery that powers some 2025 Volvo EX30 vehicles can short out inside and get too hot, which can lead to a fire. Until your vehicle is repaired, Volvo says you should charge the battery no higher than 70 percent. A dealer will inspect the battery and replace any battery sections that need it, free of charge. Owner letters went out in August 2026, and this recall replaces an earlier one.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (EX30 VINs became searchable February 23, 2026).
2. Set your charge limit to 70 percent maximum until the repair is finished.
3. Contact your Volvo dealer or Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552 to schedule the free inspection and repair.
