You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2023 Volvo C40 Recharge is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Volvo recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
