2025 Volvo XC60

I am reporting a serious safety concern involving the original equipment Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season tires installed on my 2025 Volvo XC60. With only approximately 15,000 miles on the vehicle, the tires are experiencing significant and premature deterioration. The front driver’s side tire is particularly bad, with substantial pieces of rubber missing from the tread. The remaining three tires also show deterioration and large missing pieces of rubber. This is not what I would consider normal tire wear on a relatively new vehicle with such low mileage. I am the only owner with little highway driving. The deterioration raises serious concerns about the structural integrity of these tires and the possibility of tread separation or sudden tire failure while driving at highway speeds.

235/55 R19. Premature wear, soft rubber, chunking, failed to reach rated mileage (60,000), durability, no customer support, corporate not taking ownership, tread wear, and cracking. Car purchased Sept 2025. Had approximately 4500 miles when purchased. Ride is not as smooth as it was when first purchased. Cannot get up to a speed where I feel safe driving the car. I pray no one is killed before corporate takes ownership. I also feel that a recall should be in place for this tire. Someone will get hurt and corporate will end up paying more than what they would to reimburse customers.

2025 Volvo XC60 Plus B5, 23,317 miles. The driver's-side exterior mirror changes position without driver command, creating a safety risk due to an incorrect rearward/adjacent-lane view. This has already contributed to a close call when my wife drove the vehicle without realizing the mirror had changed from its previously set position. The issue is movement of the mirror glass within the housing, NOT the power-folding mechanism, which operates normally. When the vehicle is unlocked, the driver's mirror may move to an incorrect/random position. The position also does not consistently match the Driver 1 memory setting or the driver profile linked to Key 1. Pressing Driver 1 can move the mirror to another position; approximately 20 seconds later, pressing the same button can cause it to move again, despite no change to the saved setting. The mirror position can also change after the vehicle is shut down and restarted approximately 30 minutes later. Key 1 is linked only to my profile. I have repeatedly resaved Driver 1 settings, rebooted the system, and previously recreated the driver profile. Reverse mirror tilt is NOT enabled. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Volvo dealer in August 2026 for a similar driver's-side mirror problem. The dealer identified error codes and replaced the mirror motor. After additional reboot/profile troubleshooting, the mirror operated correctly. The current problem began/recurred after Volvo software update 5.2.16. The unexpected mirror movement can occur without the driver's knowledge. If unnoticed, the driver may have an incorrect view of adjacent traffic when changing lanes or merging. Because this has already contributed to a close call, I believe the recurring uncommanded mirror movement presents a vehicle safety defect involving the mirror hardware, software, or memory/profile system.

I purchased a 2025 Volvo XC60 new. It has 18,000 miles on the car. The tires were on the vehicle when purchased. The tires are Pirelli 255/40 RZ1 102 V Mts. DOT IXB RM 582P 1424. The front driver side tire has huge chucks of rubber missing on the tread. This issue is getting worse over time. I purchase a new tire and was told that Pirelli "may reimburse" me for the tire. This tire is a safety hazard. Volvo is aware of this issue however, they contiue to sell vehicles with know issues.

Both rear original-equipment tires on a 2025 Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid (bought new mid-2025, approx. 20,000 miles) have developed bulges on the outer sidewall just below the tread shoulder. Tires are Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season, size 255/40 R21 102V, Volvo-specification (VOL / PNCS). Driver-side rear: DOT 1XB RM582P 0325. Passenger-side rear: DOT 1XB RM582P 0325. Both failed tires are from the same production week (week 03 of 2025) and have failed in the same location in the same way. The two front tires (DOT 0325 and 0225) show no bulges. The driver-side rear bulge was first noticed in June 2026. The vehicle was inspected at a Volvo dealer on 09/10/2026; the dealer did not identify the passenger-side rear bulge, which the owner found the following day on close inspection. No known pothole, curb, or road-debris impact to either rear tire; the wheels have only minor cosmetic parking scuffs on the rim lips. Passenger-side rear tread depth is 4/32 in. A sidewall bulge indicates internal cord separation and risk of sudden tire failure at speed. The tires are still mounted and available for inspection. A Pirelli original-equipment warranty claim is being filed through the Volvo dealer; no manufacturer (Pirelli) inspection has occurred yet. No warning lights or prior symptoms. NHTSA already has complaints on file for this tire on the XC60, including a sidewall bulge at low mileage on a 2026 XC60.

It appears, that due to a production defect, the right and left rear driver and passenger side windows are permanently fogged up making it difficult to see when driving. I have seen other reports that make the same observation, , but there apparently is no safety or production recalls by Volvo. This is definitely a production and a safety issue!

Incident

While parking our Volvo in the parking lot of Trader Joe's grocery store on [XXX], the Volvo suddenly accelerated and collided with the adjacent car in the next parking slip and rammed the car in the forward parking slip pushing about 15 to 20 feet ahead. Luckily, nobody was hurt though it could have been a disaster is someone was standing there near either of the other two cars. No one other than the auto body shop has inspected the car. The police came but did not write up a report because it was on private property and there were no injuries. Nothing on the instrument panel then or now shows any indication of a malfunction.
