2025 VOLVO XC60

Filed May 22, 2026


While parked in full sun the windshield cracked spontaneously, perhaps the result of thermal expansion. The linear length of the resulting crack was over 12 inches, running through the center sensor array. The car was inspected by a Volvo Service Center manager who found no evidence of impact. Nevertheless, Volvo conducted a formal inspection at an offsite facility and declined to warrant the defect. Spontaneous windshield failure is a clear risk to drivers and passengers.
