Volvo Denies Fake Takata Airbag Recall Texts Targeting Car Owners
Volvo Car issued a statement on November 7 denying fraudulent text messages about a "Takata airbag recall" circulating among vehicle owners. The company said the messages, sent by unknown parties impersonating Volvo or regulators, urged owners to provide bank details, verification codes or make payments within two hours or lose warranty coverage. Volvo stressed its official recalls never request sensitive information or transfers, and warned owners not to click suspicious links, reply or disclose personal or vehicle data. The alert highlights rising phishing risks as connected and smart EVs proliferate, with several automakers this season issuing similar warnings about scam recall notifications.
