Just watched a video posted on YouTube a few hours ago about a new XC40 hybrid catching fire and battery exploding.



If it’s real and not fake news it looks pretty serious!😳
I doubt Volvo can do anything about it without the fault codes 😉

Whatever happened, and I’m sure it will be investigated, we have to hope that the gentleman and his granddaughter make a speedy recovery.

Yes, these delights await us. Only going to get worse as vehicles age and are "serviced" at home and at under the arches garages.

Don't worry, governments and manufacturers have considered that! :roll:

I hope that the doors fail safe to unlock? Unbearable to think that they don't.
