Volvo Australia has recalled the XC40 and C40 Recharge electric SUVs to fix a problem with the front suspension.

    “A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of an accident causing serious injuries or death to the vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”

    “Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Volvo dealer to have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible and have the work carried out free of charge.”
