2022 Volvo XC60 and XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid recalled

Volvo Australia has issued recall notices for its XC60 and XC90 plug-in hybrid vehicles due to a software issue.

The issue affects 925 units produced between 2021 and 2022, affecting model-year 2022 and 2023 vehicles.

According to the recall notice issued by the Department of Infrastructure, a software programming error in the engine control module could prevent the internal-combustion engine from restarting while driving.

As a result, Volvo says the vehicle could lose power if the high-voltage battery used by the hybrid system is depleted.
