Does a recall affect your Volvo EX30?

Not every Volvo EX30 is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Seat Recliner

Launched 10 February 2026 DVSA recall R/2026/043 Manufacturer ref. R10357

Defect
On affected vehicles equipped with manually operated front seats there is a potential issue on the front seats due to insufficient welding strength between the recliner and the lower bracket on the seat backrest which may compromise the backrest’s ability to provide optimal occupant protection in the event of an impact.
Remedy
Inspect both front seats and install additional brackets as required.

HV Battery

Launched 22 January 2026 DVSA recall R/2025/559 Manufacturer ref. R10360 (superceded from R10355)

Defect
On affected vehicles following charging there is a risk of an overheating High Voltage Battery Cell which could lead to a risk of fire.
Remedy
Volvo Cars is confident that limiting the battery s maximum state of charge to 70% will eliminate the risk of overheating. Additionally we would advise the following precautions. Do not leave your vehicle unattended whilst charging within buildings or covered areas. If you see any vehicle warnings in the car or app during or after charging seek assistance. The HV Battery modules will be inspected and replaced.

January 1992 to September 2026 3 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Volvo EX30. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
