CTOnews.com October 13 news, at the end of last month Volvo Automobile sales (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Daqing Volvo Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Haoqing Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and decided to recall 4720 vehicles from September 30, 2022.

It is reported that with regard to the reasons for this vehicle recall, officials said that some plug-in hybrid vehicles within the scope of this recall may overheat the battery module when the power battery is in a high-energy state due to an internal short circuit in the battery module cell of some plug-in hybrid vehicles within the scope of this recall, which in extreme cases leads to thermal runaway of the power battery and safety risks.

CTOnews.com learned that in response to the recalled problem vehicles, Volvo Chinese officials said that starting from September 30, 2022, the recalled vehicles will be temporarily upgraded with free software to reduce the risk of thermal runaway. At the same time, starting from May 1, 2023, all power battery modules will be replaced free of charge for vehicles within the recall to eliminate safety risks. In addition, Volvo recommends that users avoid plugging in the vehicle before downloading the software. At the same time, users should contact Volvo authorized dealers as soon as possible to carry out software upgrades.

In addition, according to the Smart car Group, officials also said that a care subsidy of 10,000 yuan will be paid to customers after all the power battery modules have been replaced, and the defective vehicles have been recalled, and there will be no more such problems when purchasing vehicles later.
