What Happened
The Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) in your XC40 Recharge is a computer that manages the electric power system. In certain 2021-2022 models, the BECM's microprocessor could reset and shut down the high voltage system.
Risk if Unfixed
If the high voltage system disconnects, you could lose power to your vehicle, making it hard to control. This could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volvo dealer will install a software update to fix the issue, and it's free. You should schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice, and it's done at no cost to you.
