SGA global recall of over 64,000 Volvo XC40 plug-in hybrid vehicles is underway due to a potential fire risk caused by a defect in the high-voltage battery. In Singapore, 22 of these vehicles are affected, and owners have been notified via registered mail by the brand's distributor, Wearnes Automotive. The issue arises from a production flaw that could cause a short circuit in the battery cell, leading to overheating. Owners are advised not to charge their vehicles fully and to limit charging to 70% until repairs are made. The recall follows a similar campaign announced in January 2026 for the Volvo EX30 model. No fires have been reported in Singapore related to this recall.
