The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has notified consumers about a recall of 372 Volvo EX30 electric cars by Volvo Car South Africa.
This recall affects certain EX30 Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance models from 2024 to 2026, which were sold from December 29 2025, in Gauteng.
According to Volvo Car South Africa, the recall is due to a potential issue with the high-voltage (HV) battery. In rare cases, the battery may overheat when charged to a high level, which could potentially result in a thermal event, posing a fire risk.
Owners of the affected vehicles are advised to limit their car’s maximum charge level to 70% until a fix is available.
“Consumers are urged to take this recall seriously and arrange for the necessary inspection and repair at their nearest authorised dealerships. All corrective work relating to this recall will be carried out at no cost to the consumer,” said Volvo Cars.
