Think I upset something. Car went all red warning on me on the motorway with 12v charging error. Limped it home and guess I get to press the Volvo come get me button tomorrow. Also flashed up propulsion system service when I got how for good measure

B3 mild hybrid. I guess it’s extra mild now…..

There are other mentions on here of the mild hybrid issue with charging the 12v side. Seem to be recently built models.

Okay contacted Volvo, nice gentleman came out. Did a software update, should be good to go.

Seems the issue is the car thinks it isn’t charging fro a split second and then holds the error for a while.

As to the Volvo service to fix it very pleased with that. Raise a ticket, map progress to how close they are , person with a van turns up and fixes it.

Nice.

The software update I got was not a recall level but if you have the problem you get the fix. Fix was released 3 weeks ago. Seems sometimes the modules need a tweak to talk nicely with each other.

Seems for some errors even if it’s only an issue for a moment the car wants to do a few full turn off turn on cycles to say it’s really gone.

Mine showed the error in the morning too but one more turn off and on and it went.
