ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Volvo Car USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2020-2021 S90, 2020-2022 S60, V60, XC60, XC90, and 2022 V90 plug-in hybrid vehicles. The high-voltage battery may experience a short circuit within the battery module when the battery is fully charged and the vehicle is parked.
- What it can cause
- A short circuit in a high-voltage battery increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to charge their vehicles until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will inspect and replace the high-voltage battery module as necessary. In addition, dealers will update the software to monitor the battery. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 28, 2025. Owners may contact Volvo Car's customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo Car's number for this recall is R10312.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 7,483 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 30 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V790000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 10 of the 15 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 272 complaints with NHTSA, 173 of them before this campaign was filed. 97 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2020, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V908000 (back over prevention), 25V282000 (back over prevention), 23V827000 (seat belts), 23V780000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Car USA, LLC with NHTSA on March 24, 2025 as campaign 25V179000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
