Volvo Recalling EX30 for Faulty Head Restraints

Volvo has announced a recall of 9,930 EX30 electric vehicles from model years 2025 and 2026, and 4,141 models including Cross Country variants from 2024 to 2026, because head restraint cushions could detach during a collision, raising the risk of serious injury.

Dealerships will repair the issue by applying a two‑component epoxy adhesive at three attachment points, a method that testing has shown improves the cushion’s attachment strength.

The recall follows earlier battery‑fault notices that could cause fires; owners of affected vehicles should contact Volvo Car Australia for a free appointment with an authorized dealer, and Volvo has not reported any injuries related to the head restraint problem.
