Affected Years: 2021, 2022, 2023 Volvo V60. Our law firm is also investigating 2024, 2025, 2026 Volvo V60 for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Keyless Entry System.
When a new car starts showing reliability issues, it is often frustrating. Most people shrug it off and get it over to the dealer to have it addressed under warranty. When problems are random, they start to get under your skin. You make your payment every month, and you expect a brand as well-known as Volvo to be reliable. The worst thing that can happen next is that the issue continues to occur after the dealer tells you it is fixed. Now you are missing work to go to and from the dealer, and you start second guessing your decision to buy your Volvo.
When it is apparent after several trips to the dealership that this issue isn’t as simple as it might appear, someone in your circle of friends or coworkers asks you if you have considered talking to someone about filing a lemon law claim with the manufacturer.

What Is The Lemon Law In California?
The short answer is that it is the law that provides protection for consumers when dealing with a faulty product. Originally the law was known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It was written and became law in March of 1971. Many know it due to its relationship with automobile issues, but some people are surprised to find that it will cover electronics, appliances, homes, and anything else with an express warranty. There have been some changes over the years to improve protection, but what it still does very well is hold the manufacturer liable for the products they make and sell, especially in terms of honoring the warranty and the remedies available to you, the consumer, if they cannot get the item fixed. In each case, there is a qualification standard that the item must meet to be eligible for coverage under the Lemon Law protections. A Volvo XC40 lemon law attorney from Guardian Lemon Law will help you verify that your vehicle does qualify if you have been dealing with a never-ending repair. Do not hesitate to call on Guardian Lemon Law to get the help you need, especially if that help is needed because you are approaching the Statute of Limitations for filing a claim.
What Is The Time Limit To Sue Volvo For A Qualified Lemon Law Issue?
The time limit in California to file a Volvo XC40 defective exterior paint lemon lawsuit originally was four years, and it started on the date of the issue happening for the first time. Recent changes in the law now set the time limit to either one year from expiration of the original vehicle warranty, or six years from the original date of vehicle delivery to you. As part of the case evaluation, we will determine the time limit that applies so that if we do need to file a lawsuit, we do not run beyond the time limit.
The Details On The 2020-2022 XC40 Defective Exterior Paint Issue
The paint issue manifests as peeling or chipping of the paint layer itself. Most vehicles follow a process similar to what we outline here. Paint application on a new vehicle starts with the body undergoing a pre-treatment process. The 1st step is cleaning the body thoroughly. The process is done in a series of chemical baths. The next step is a phosphate treatment, which creates a surface that will allow paint to bond at a chemical level. It is then rinsed and is ready for paint.
The first type to be applied is a primer, also done in a bath using an electric current to force the primer to bond with every surface of the body. The body is then baked in a large oven to cure it. The next step is a 2nd primer layer, which, in addition to smoothing out any imperfections, also provides the 1st level of protection against paint chipping. The primary color of the vehicle is then applied in several thin coats, and is followed by the clearcoat finish, designed to protect the paint against a number of different things, like scratches and UV light damage. The last step is additional baking, followed by a curing period.
Guardian Lemon Law shares all this to illustrate that if your XC40 paint is chipping, something failed in the process. A dealership may be able to fix the issue in small spots, but if it is happening all over the vehicle, and your dealer cannot seem to fix it. You may want to ask Guardian Lemon Law to provide a lemon lawyer to sue Volvo for paint defects.
What Are The Qualifications For Lemon Law Eligibility?
There are a few key items that need to be present or met before any automobile is eligible for buyback or replacement from the manufacturer under California Lemon Law. They are:
- The damage you are reporting can not be caused by any sort of abuse you are responsible for
- The vehicle is still covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty
- The dealer has made a reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue reported
- The defect being repaired is the same one, and it is impacting the safety, use, or value of the vehicle
- The vehicle has a total of more than 30 days where it has been unavailable to you due to repair efforts
