Volvo initiates recall of EX30 electric SUVs in Norway over seat-belt airbag issue

Volvo has announced a safety recall for its EX30 electric SUV, covering model years 2024 through 2027, limited to the Norwegian market. The issue concerns the mounting of the front head-rest airbags, which could come loose from the support structure in a strong impact, raising the chance of harm to drivers and passengers. The automaker stresses that the scenario is extremely unlikely and that no related injuries have been reported to date.

The recall was triggered after reports from owners in the United States prompted an investigation that later expanded globally. Affected owners in Norway will receive direct notifications and must schedule a visit to an authorized workshop, where technicians will reinforce the airbag mounts. Volvo advises customers to contact their local dealer or the company’s customer centre for further details.
