2026 Volvo XC60MHEV

The 2026 Volvo XC60 Ultra comes with hazy rear passenger windows, worse in full sun. These windows are laminated and tinted and are manufactured by Saint-Gobain Sekurit. The hazy rear passenger windows, especially the right one, decrease the driver's visibility and safety when checking the blind spots in traffic. Volvo should issue a recall of these defective windows and provide replacement transparent laminated glass for the rear passenger windows, allowing an unobstructed view for the driver. After contacting Volvo, they offered to replace these windows with tinted tempered glass, which is a downgrade from the laminated windows with noise dampening feature. Volvo is aware of this widespread quality issue and safety concern and chooses not to address it properly for its customers. Please investigate this safety concern and issue a recall for the hazy rear passenger windows in the higher trim Volvo models.

I have requested an appointment with my local Volvo dealership to investigate this problem with delamination of the windshield and All side/rear windows. The glass has developed a pervasive milky, cloudy, and fractured appearance. When driving in the direct sunlight or at night with oncoming headlights, the vision for the driver is distorted and causes a significant safety hazard. The vehicle is currently in pristine condition with fewer than 2000 miles when the problem was first identified. I have reported the problem to my local dealership along with Photos illustrating the problem and believe the windshield should be replaced since the vehicle is still under a full factory warranty. I have not yet received confirmation from the dealership that they recognize the severity of the problem, but I am concerned that others should be aware of this issue prior to purchasing similar vehicles from Volvo.
