Volvo Recalls 234,000 EX30 Electric Cars Over Headrest Safety Risk

The recall is due to a risk that the cushions in the front-seat headrests could come loose in a severe collision.

"Volvo Cars has issued a safety-related recall covering 234,000 EX30s worldwide, of which just over 15,000 are in Sweden," Magnus Holst of Volvo Cars’ press department said in a written statement to Carup.

The company says it has received no reports of personal injuries related to the fault.
