thanks!

 

If you look at the descriptions one is black the other is aluminum. Either one will fit its just which one you want. You original trim is aluminum but it's your choice as to which one you ultimately buy. I prefer the aluminum one myself.

 

Common problem… mine separated at the top. Fairly easy to do there is a DIY on here somewhere…

p.rico's S60 T6 Journey and DIY Thread

This is now serving as an update/install thread to catalog various happenings with my S60 Present: The intro post is below, but here is how the car currently sits (updated February 2022): August 2022: August 2021: Intro Post: Hi everyone! New owner of a 2012 S60 T6 in Vibrant...

My trim around the steering wheel is not to bad yet. I can feel a little delamination at the bottom but the down shift paddle is bad and is sharp as a razor blade. Those things aren't cheap and I suspect not easy to replace. For now I will be working on a different fix. I did super glue the sharp edge down but don't know how long that will last.

 

yah me too - should I
have a pro install it?

 

Will buy the trim and have it professionally installed. Thanks for all the good info.

 

Hardest part is getting the airbag out first. They're supposed to be an easy quick release but you have to pry back the spring arms just right.

 

The job is not hard. Literally half an hour.
These are around $50 or so. I have an extra one if you want to buy (I replace the ones that were in the post above with an R-Design version).

 

I've taken a Dremel to the flaking parts a couple of times by now. It may be time for the 3rd round, but as it's not my daily driver and my wife for some reason doesn't seem to mind, that's good enough.

P.S. p.rico: "The job is not hard."
Also p.rico:

 

Oddly enough, it was the only time I had cut my hand on the flaking electroplated aluminum.

But seriously, it’s very easy. Like stated earlier, just did it yet again about two months ago.

+1 on this solution
Our 2012's S60 T5's steering wheel trim failed the same way except at the top, not the bottom, of that trim piece.
Simple DIY job per those instructions. The new one's been fine for 4 years now.

 

I thought they updated that part on the newer cars? 2014+ are not a problem

 

Uh..I own a 2014xc70 and its a problem.

 

My wife's s60 is a 2015 and the trim on the steering wheel and the left side paddle both have issues with the aluminum pulling away from the base material. I guess it was just to expensive to make them out of billet aluminum or cast aluminum.

 

That's a safety feature from the fine folks at Volvo.

The idea is that you'll cut your hand while driving. You then lose control while struggling to grasp onto the blood-soaked steering wheel.
Once this fails, you proceed to crash and enjoy the multiple safety features your Volvo has to offer.

 

What about the trim on the side of the center console next to the safety belt release on a 2016 XC70? Any good fixes for an edge that has gotten loose there? It's not a good place to occasionally catch your fingers on if you're exiting and forget to be cautious. Rotary tool to smooth it down might be a workable solution.

 

Is this where you are talking about?

 

That happened to me in my old 2010 S80. I used a high grit nail file to smooth it out & that solved the problem.

 

I think this was a recall. Had mine replaced a while back at Volvo expense

 

Yeah, that happened on my XC60 years ago. I just flake it off and make sure to avoid the bottom parts of the wheel. Of course I forgot to tell my 11 year old goddaughter this when teaching her to drive, and she ended up with a similar cut as you despite me repeatedly running my hand around and around the wheel to no effect. That poor kid is accident prone.

It is good to know that just the bezel can be purchased so I don't have to buy a whole new steering wheel, although the wood is starting to blister too. I may end up going down a rabbit hole here.

 

I had this happen to me on my 2012 S80. Sliced my hand making a turn. I had the CPO warranty and the dealer fixed it no charge. I think there is a service bulletin on it.

 

It was suggested that a class action suit might be appropriate...
