Volvo rings the alarm. More than 3,000 rechargeable hybrid cars – S60, V60, XC60, S90, V90 and XC90 – are recalled for a serious risk: the battery could overheat and trigger a fire. This defect, caused by a possible assembly problem, concerns vehicles made between 2020 and 2022 on the SPA platform.
Volvo calls on owners to go to the dealership for control. Depending on the verdict, a simple software update may be enough, or a replacement of the defective modules, an operation up to 5:30.
No details have been given on the impacted countries, but these models are well marketed in Tunisia via approved dealers. The Tunisians concerned must therefore check their vehicle as quickly as possible.
This recall highlights the vulnerability of high tension batteries, energy heart of hybrids, which requires rigorous monitoring to avoid any danger.
