Mysterious coolant loss on XC40 Recharge anyone else?

[safeswedespeed25]

I bought a used 2022 XC40 Recharge a few months ago, and it's got about 18,000 miles on it now. While I was on a long drive yesterday, I suddenly saw a low coolant warning pop up. I pulled over to check things out, and the reservoir was completely empty. I didn't notice any leaks under the car, there were no signs of overheating, and it drove just fine on the way home.

Since it's Sunday and the service center is closed, I'm wondering if it's okay to just top it off with some coolant from the store for now, or if I should hold off and get it checked out first. I'm also curious, has anyone experienced a sudden drop in coolant like this with their Recharge? I'd really appreciate any advice or shared experiences.

Yeah, its fine to top it off with the right type of coolant for now, make sure its compatible with Volvo's specs. A sudden drop like that could mean a hidden leak or something with the cooling system, especially since its an EV. If it happens again or the level drops quickly after refilling, definitely get it checked out ASAP. For now, just top it off and keep an eye on it.

Sudden coolant loss without visible leaks usually means a hidden problem, it is likely a slow leak into the motor or battery thermal loop. Topping it off is fine short-term, but don't ignore it, this isn't normal for an XC40 Recharge.
