Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada lists: EX30 2025–2026

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, electrical connections for the audio module could become damaged. As a result, the seat belt reminder chime may not work when your seat belt isn't buckled. Canadian regulations require a seat belt reminder sound when a driver isn't wearing their seat belt. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with the Premium Sound option.

Why it matters

A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to buckle your seat belt. Not wearing your seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volvo will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the damaged audio module terminals.

20 February 2026

Transport Canada lists: EX30 2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the high-voltage battery cells could short circuit. Note: This problem would cause a warning message to be displayed in the instrument panel.

Why it matters

A short circuit in the high-voltage battery can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Volvo advises that you should limit the vehicle's maximum state of charge to no more than 70% until the recall repairs have been completed. Volvo will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and replace battery modules, as necessary.

Common questions

Does the 2025 Volvo EX30 have any recalls?
Transport Canada has 3 recalls on record for the 2025 Volvo EX30. Recall repairs are almost always free at a manufacturer dealer.
What fuel economy does the 2025 Volvo EX30 get?
NRCan rates the 2025 Volvo EX30 at 18.4 kWh/100 km combined, with a rated range of 414 km.
What does it cost to run a 2025 Volvo EX30 for a year?
At 16,249 km a year and Ontario average prices, about $434 in electricity, producing roughly 105 kg of CO2. Ontario is time-of-use, so charging is billed at whichever rate applies when you plug in — the real cost is usually higher than this average. Your own distance and prices will change this — the calculator lets you set both.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
