This all started last week.
Quick backstory, I bought my 2022 Recharge Ultimate at the beginning of October 2021. I have just under 2000 miles on it when I got the "Propulsion System Service Urgent drive to workshop" warning. The car had been sitting for 6 days since I went out of town for a bit for the holidays. As soon as I started driving was when the warning light came on. I drove to the closest Volvo dealer where they kept the car to run some tests and update some software that's not part of the OTA updates.
I picked up the car the next day the dealer was open. When I picked it up, they said everything looked good. I didn't even get to leave the parking lot when I got the same warning, along with turtle mode limiting power. The limit was very low, by the way.
Now, I have a loaner and the car has been back at the Volvo all this week. I had to call to get an update today. The service tech on the phone mentioned that the Volvo engineers have told them that there's an issue with the battery. The next steps are the battery is coming out of the car tomorrow and that they need to run more tests on the battery once it's out of the car.
So... this doesn't seem great on a car with less than 2000 miles...
I'll let you all know when I get another update.
