Recent reports

“Brand new 2026 Volvo XC60 Plus with factory tinting of rear passenger, side & hatch windows. Vehicle purchased from Serra Volvo in Traverse City Michigan. I discovered an issue with the rear passenger windows. Unlike the smaller rear side & hatch windows, rear passenger windows are cloudy even after a thorough cleaning.”

Filed May 4, 2026

“The passenger side windows on both the driver and passenger side are foggy due to a defect in the window tint and lamination process. These hazy and foggy window are a safety concern when looking over your shoulder when changing lanes as the view through the glass is not clear.”
