These issues seem to arise from defects in the Electrical Systems/BCM.
Automobile warranties will often drive people to purchase a new, leased, or certified pre-owned vehicle when their current vehicle warranty is expiring. It makes people feel better to have something with a warranty that is not going to cost them money every so often. Sometimes people wait too long, and they have been through a spate of trips to a repair shop and the out-of-pocket repair costs that go with them. Neither group is interested in finding a vehicle that suddenly has an issue that their dealer can’t seem to get a handle on when it comes to a repair. What is often frustrating to the vehicle owner is that Volvo dealers do get factory support when it comes to figuring out what is wrong with their new or used XC60. The reality is that dealing with a repair issue like this isn’t fun for anyone involved. After a few trips in, the dealer will start to worry about a lemon law claim.

The Lemon Law In California And What You Need To Know
The lemon law, originally known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, was passed into law in March of 1971. The protection it offers to consumers in California centers around holding manufacturers accountable by establishing an obligation to replace or refund any item that they are unable to fix or resolve. Most known for its use and reference in the automobile industry, it actually applies to a wide variety of consumer products. The law has evolved over the years, with various acts being adopted to keep it current. The most recent change in 2025 deals with updated time limits on being able to bring a claim and lawsuit. The law, by design, still focuses on its original intent, which is to provide the consumer with some recourse legally, but it also provides the manufacturer with some protection as well.
Besides automobiles, single-family homes, appliances, and electronics are all subject to the Lemon Law as long as they came with an express warranty. Beyond the qualifications and restrictions mentioned, there is one other thing that will limit your rights as a consumer. The Statute of Limitations is very specific about the time limit you have to file a Lemon Law claim or lawsuit. If you need a lemon lawyer to sue Volvo for a computer malfunction, this is an essential item that needs to be reviewed.
What Is The Time Limit To File A Lemon Lawsuit?
The time limit that is set in the State of California Statute of Limitations to file a Volvo XC60 computer malfunction lemon law lawsuit was four years. The time limit began on the date the vehicle issue was suspected of being a Lemon Law issue. The recent changes we mentioned earlier in 2025 have changed the time limits. They are now one year from the expiration of the original vehicle warranty, or six years from the original date of vehicle delivery to you. The applicable time limit is the earliest date for your warranty, repair, and purchase history. Key to your case evaluation is the determination of the time limit that applies to your claim. If we do need to file a lawsuit, your Volvo XC60 lemon law attorney will want to anticipate that deadline.
The Volvo XC60 Electrical Systems/BCM Symptoms, Issues, And Fixes
For model years 2022 and 2023, the reports from consumers center around the accessories not consistently working, and random error messages showing up on the dash. The screen on the infotainment system will often go blank or begin to lag to the point where it is unusable. It has also been reported as freezing up, often requiring a reset to resolve it. This can be done by holding down the home button below the screen until the Volvo logo appears. It is NOT providing a resolution to the underlying issue, but simply restoring some functionality to the system.
Another indication of issues with the system is that features accessible via the infotainment system stop working. Things like climate control, as well as radio and phone operation, may become unavailable and often require a hard reboot of the system. The updates for the system being done over the air have also been reported as failing, with no identifiable fix, yet they continue trying to update it.
The repair efforts focus on software upgrades and component replacements if the software doesn’t resolve the computer system’s freezing and unavailability, and the accessories it controls. While some people may look at this kind of issue and feel like it doesn’t rise to the requirements around Lemon Law, the performance issues around the system do affect the value of the vehicle on trade and resale. This issue needs to be fixed for the vehicle to be safe to operate and not serve as a distraction to the driver.
