2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge — cleaning the hybrid battery cooling fan — worth doing preventively?

RustMomCommunity StarterJul 3, 20262022 Volvo XC90 RechargeMichigan
Car is used in a dusty environment and has pets in it regularly. I've read about battery cooling fans getting dirty. Is inspecting/cleaning it a reasonable preventive job or better left alone without symptoms? I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts. What am I missing?

I'd wait for the actual TSB/recall population, not the headline. Check whether your 2022 Volvo XC90 VIN is actually in the affected batch before you plan a dealer day. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2022 Volvo XC90 in Michigan. Stop there until you know. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Software recalls make me ask how much of 'driving' lives in a module now. If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2022 Volvo XC90 ownership costs yet. That's where I'd start. Do that first. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
