- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to limit their charge to a maximum of 70% until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will inspect and replace the battery modules as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 16, 2026. Owners may contact Volvo Car’s customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on February 23, 2026. This recall replaces and expands previous NHTSA recall number 26V001.

Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 161 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volvo vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 34 times before this, most recently in January 2026 as 26V001000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed. 5 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V136000 (seat belts), 26V001000 (electrical system).
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 February 20, 2026 as campaign 26V103000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
