Poor AC
Mine is one of the affected ones. 27c here today and the vents are blowing ambient (hot) air regardless of the settings. The compressor can be heard switching on and off correctly, just no cold air.
Car is in for AEB and Aircon fault next Wednesday, so I've emailed to tell them it's a known fault with a recall!

Mine was done a few weeks ago - there was TOO MUCH coolant apparently.
Dealership has now had my 2 month old car trying to sort out a multitude of other problems for 10 days so I haven’t been able to check AC.
Apparently only problem they can’t fix is faulty connection when press SOS button which even Volvo can’t fix.

This was a bit tricky. If car is in shade and you start driving, the A/C works fine, BUT, once you start hitting 27C temperatures (here in Malta), the A/C blows room temp air. At first i thought it was something to do with ECO mode, but then confirmed that somethings wrong when driven on Comfort mode.
Local agent just confirmed the already mentioned over gassed system

First time I have used ac and found it very poor. After reading some of the posts called my dealer as I am booked next week for AEB recall. They said they would take a look but denied being aware of any known issue or recalls.

Me too! Aircon blowing cold passenger side and hot drivers side intermittently. Bells Bedford couldn't take it through lockdown but now Bedford re-opened booked in for aircon issue and annual service this Thursda y. Until joining this forum I didn't realise it was known issue.
When I dropped off car for AEB recall I again asked dealer about any aircon recall. No was the response but we will take a look for you. Returned to collect car after 1 hour as agreed. Oh we found out there is an aircon recall and will need to car another hour to resolve. Seemed like it was a regas as mentioned by other posters.
Works fine now on Lo setting where previously it was warm!!!

Sometimes, I wonder about the knowledge base of dealers. The public seem more clued up than the professionals. This happens with all makes it seems.
