I think the part is under $300 but it requires a bunch of time because the bumper has to be pulled to remove the light. I have water / condensation in mine as well and I'm going to see if they'll fix it in a few weeks, I'll let you know what they say.

 

subscribed. One of the V90CC's we are considering has tail light issues both on the same side (gate mounted and quarter panel mounted)

 

V90cc 2017 tail lights cracking

My undamaged rear end tail lights are cracking on the edges, second time around. Volvo claims abuse to car not manufacture defects. Any one else experiencing this.

Tail Light out? Or is it?

Hello, fellow SwedeSpeeders! Earlier this evening, when parking my Vehicle, my neighbor asked me if one of my tail lights was out. I came out to see this image that I'm attaching. I found no additional information in our Owner's manual, hence the troubleshooting thread. I'm almost certain...

V90CC Tail Lamp Light Out

I'm occasionally getting the "Rear Position Light Malfunction", and upon further investigation I'm seeing the lower 1/2 of the taillight is out when the headlights are turned on, or if the rear hatch is opened. The dealer told me I have a small crack that is letting water in and I need to...

Problem with rear left tail light

Hallo from Austria - sorry for my bad English :-) Since yesterday I have this problem: Rear left tail lights both do not work. If I read the OBD fault and erase it, the lights work fine for ~ 1 second and then they are off again and the obd error is here again. So I can see the LED are all...

Leaky Rear Tail light solved (at no cost)

A few months ago I noticed condensation in my tail light. Then it started retaining water. The issue with Volvo lights is there is a module inside the light (stupid) and lo and behold, it is at the bottom (extra stupid) of the enclosure. The light will actually trip the system if it is flooded...

Rear position light failure warning

I get occasional instrument-panel text warnings, "Rear Position Lights Failure," or something like that, about once a month. Does this happen to anybody else? Last time it happened, I got out and looked at the taillights, and indeed the left one was only half-on. (Lights around the edge were...

Question: does CPO cover rear light assembly?

Just found out the rear left light went out today. The turning signal and brake light works, but the LED light around it was not working. Curious if CPO covers it.

For what it's worth, I got around to bringing the CPO 2019 V90 I bought at the end of November with 19k miles on it to a local dealer. I came with a laundry list of items, including the tail light having water in it, and they took care of everything for me under warranty (front brakes replaced because they were warped, tailgate handle replaced because it was loose, sunroof gasket replaced, tail light replaced, did a hard reset of the car to get the stop/start function working, and reset the transmission to let it relearn shifting behavior).

This was at North Point Volvo in Alpharetta. I didn't buy the car there, so they easily could have told me some of it wasn't covered or told me to go back to where I bought it, but they took care of me.

 

I think technically it wouldn't be covered under one of the weather stripping/water damage clauses, but I'd think they could have written it up different and got one by Volvo. If they wrote it up with water damage than it's unlikely Volvo would do the claim.

 

"Verified customer's concern. Left tail light has water intrusion..."

Car is still under the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty, maybe that's why it was covered.

 

That does make a difference absolutely... it doesn't have the weather stripping clause.

 

See, I've been debating on whether or not to get the CPO extension, but it has so many exclusions versus the original warranty for the things that I expect to age that it basically becomes "power train and Sensus" insurance. But my experience with the local dealer was pleasant enough that I'm considering it again.

 

I'd disagree with that... there are really very few added exemptions... A good chuck of the paragraph is for things the car doesn't even have like solar panels, sealed beams (well there might be a few of those depending on the year), and manual transmission bits. But items that fail due to weathering are on there and frankly make perfect sense to be on there. Volvo can't force people to park in a garage out of sunlight and that's what can cause quite a bit of the breakdown of glues and seals and rubber bits.

 

PLATINUM EXCLUSIONS* Brake linings, brake drums and rotors, disc brake pads, standard manual transmission clutch friction disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing and arm, air bags, solar-powered devices, glass, lenses, sealed beams, body parts and/or panels, weather stripping, trim, moldings, lock cylinders, tires, wheels, all batteries except hybrid/EV/hydrogen high-voltage batteries, light bulbs, upholstery, paint, bright metal, freeze plugs, filters, heater and radiator hoses, exhaust system, catalytic converter, shock absorbers, work such as front-end alignment or wheel balancing (except when required in conjunction with a mechanical breakdown), safety restraint systems, audio/security or other systems not factory installed, or vinyl and convertible tops.

Many of the strike out items aren't covered under new car either. And while I left things like the body parts or panels, they're already covered under the 10 year penetration coverage, so while not covered by CPO they maintain factory coverage.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the perspective. I basically need to make a table if what's left and not covered by another warranty, assign a probability of failure and repair cost, and then I'll know if it's worth it

 

question - when you press the brake, are the inboard, tailgate mounted brake lights supposed to illuminate? V90cc 2017

 

The only stuff not cover is what's in that paragraph and then neglect and damage type things.

I think if you're keeping the car it's too cheap not to buy. I'm astounded by the number of people who pass on it and who plan to keep the car a long time. I feel pretty good about selling a luxury car that needs $4k in non-wear repairs in 120k miles over 10 years.. and if you buy the warranty from Steingold it generally costs less than that. The rest is just good measure in case you get actually unlucky.

Sure, but everything that has gone wrong on the car so far has been on the list of things excluded from the CPO warranty. So I have an observation bias problem in my dataset.
