Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 00:02 · Archive

Volvo is recalling over 4,000 EX30 small SUVs because front seat head restraints may move or detach in a collision.

Volvo Car Australia is recalling the Volvo EX30 after discovering that front seat head restraints may not have been manufactured to specifications. The company says the restraints may move or detach from the seat in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants.

Over 4,000 Volvo EX30 small SUVs are affected by the recall. Owners of affected vehicles should schedule an appointment with an authorised Volvo dealership to have the issue fixed. The work will be carried out free of charge. Volvo Car Australia Customer Care can be contacted on 1300 787 802 for further information.

This is the latest recall for the EX30 model. Earlier this year, Volvo Car Australia issued two separate recalls for a battery fault in the EX30 that could lead to a vehicle fire, and subsequently confirmed that work was underway to replace defective battery modules.
