Affected Years: 2020, 2021, 2022 Volvo S60. Our law firm is also investigating 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 Volvo S60 for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Radar/Camera Sensors.
There have been some very interesting technological upgrades on vehicles in the last few years. Various versions of self-driving or assisted driving have come out, and when you start using them and develop confidence in them, they quickly and relatively easily replace what we have always used before. Sometimes that is other technology, but it could be techniques and processes we have used as far back as when we learned how to drive. Think about back-up cameras, for instance. They have all but replaced the habit of looking in all the mirrors continually as you back out of a parking spot at the mall.
The trouble with relying on technology for the safe operation of anything, of course, is that the technology might fail. We have rebooted a computer to get it to work again! In the case of the 2020-2022 Volvo S60 Advanced Safety system, we are seeing reports of intermittent failures to perform both adaptive cruise control services as well as lane assist/departure alerts. When you experience this issue while driving your Volvo S60, and it feels like the safety system is on a coffee break, you might call a Volvo dealer and have it looked at. If it keeps repeatedly failing at random intervals, and you are now on your third or fourth trip to the shop to have it fixed, you might wonder if you are dealing with an issue that will qualify as Lemon Law eligible. If you are considering exploring this, we want you to know you can contact Guardian Lemon Law. We will schedule a review of your case as soon as possible and see if it does qualify, and review the options you have available to you for next steps.

The California Lemon Law And What You Should Know
Beginning in 1971, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was passed into law, and it required the manufacturers to repair their products that weren’t meeting the express warranty offered. This included automobiles, homes, electronics, and appliances. It became and remains the foundation of California Lemon Law today. There were significant changes with the Tanner Consumer Protection Act in 1983, including defined language regarding some important but often debated parts of the original bill, such as what “a reasonable attempt to repair” meant. There were other changes, too. It added a total time limit of 30 days for repair before qualifying, and expanded what was covered to include used vehicles with existing factory warranty time periods remaining. It extends today to what we know as certified pre-owned vehicles backed with factory warranty coverage.
The most recent changes took place with amendments AB1755 and SB 26 in 2025. The initial purpose of these bills was focused on procedural changes in an attempt to relieve some of the court congestion for Lemon Law hearings. It also changed the Statute of Limitations on filing a Lemon Law claim, which was initially four years from the date you discovered, or reasonably should have discovered, there was a potential Lemon Law issue with the vehicle. Guardian Lemon Law can review your case with a Volvo S60 advanced safety system failure lemon lawyer to ensure that the claim is eligible under the new Statute of Limitations and the vehicle does qualify under Lemon Law.
What Are My Eligibility Requirements?
The key factors for vehicle qualification for Lemon Law claims are focused on a couple of key areas. The first area concerns the vehicle still being under warranty and the issue being a manufactured defect, not abnormal wear. One of the common disputes between the owner and the manufacturer always surrounded the vehicle’s qualification. Guardian Lemon Law performs a case evaluation to confirm the qualification of your vehicle under the guidelines below, and we do it free of charge. This is a key step when you need to file a Volvo S60 advanced safety system failure lemon law lawsuit in California.
- Your vehicle remains covered under the manufacturer’s new car warranty or a certified pre-owned warranty, and was in effect at the outset of your issue
- The issue being named in the Lemon Law claim has not been caused by improper use or abuse of the vehicle
- The efforts to repair the claimed issue have totaled more than 30 days
- A reasonable number of attempts to repair the issue have been made, being defined as at least two attempts for significant safety issues, and at least four attempts for any defect that is not safety related or affecting
- The defect being repaired affects the safety, use, or value of the vehicle
What Is The Statute of Limitations For Filing A Lemon Law Claim Or Lawsuit?
The time limit to file is very straightforward now. If you intend to file a Volvo S60 defective radar/camera sensors lemon lawsuit, your limit is the earliest of two dates related to your vehicle. The first date is the first anniversary of the expiration of your factory warranty. The second date is six years from the date you took delivery of your car. This applies to a claim or lawsuit because the claim is governed by the same law as the lawsuit would be.
The 202-2022 Volvo S60 Advanced Safety System Failure Reports And Customer Experiences
The most frequent and consistent reports of this failure indicate that it is intermittent. The services affected most often in the system are the adaptive cruise control and the lane keeping aid system, though the cross traffic alert and blind spot information system may also be affected, depending on what the issue is.
These systems are reliant on the sensors and cameras on the vehicle, and like everything else, are dependent on software as well. The sensors and cameras are like any other vehicle part, and need to be kept clean and in working order. They may also be prone to connectivity issues, as well as faults. The system itself may go offline pending a required software update, which is done at the dealership.
Symptoms have ranged from a failure to maintain the set distance between you and the vehicle you are following to an inability to restart. The lane keeping system has been known to detect a lane line at an off ramp and attempt to follow it as the right-hand marker.
What Will Volvo Do For Me When We Win?
There are two primary options for remedy in a California Lemon Law claim. The options are either replacement or refund/buyback. The replacement will be either like for like or will be a model of the same type and value if it is available. The second one is a buyback from the manufacturer. You can choose either solution. Your choice needs to be documented in the lawsuit that gets filed for you by Guardian Lemon Law. The refund will be for the total price plus fees, etc. There may be a mileage deduction from the total.
