Volvo class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Lydia Leonberg has filed a class action lawsuit against Volvo Cars of North America LLC and Volvo Car USA LLC.
- Why: Leonberg claims Volvo vehicles contain a defect that causes their infotainment system to repeatedly fail.
- Where: The Volvo class action lawsuit was filed in New Jersey federal court.
A new class action lawsuit alleges that certain Volvo vehicles contain a defect that causes their Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) infotainment system to fail.
Plaintiff Lydia Leonberg filed the class action complaint against Volvo Cars of North America and Volvo Car USA on Dec. 23 in New Jersey federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
According to the lawsuit, the infotainment system defect affects 2021–2025 Volvo XC40, 2022–2025 Volvo C40, 2022–2025 Volvo XC60, 2022–2025 Volvo XC90, 2022–2025 Volvo S60, 2022–2025 Volvo S90, 2022–2025 Volvo V60, 2022–2025 Volvo V90, 2025 Volvo EX30, 2025 Volvo EX40 and 2025 Volvo EX90 vehicles.
Leonberg says she purchased a new 2023 Volvo XC60 for $54,715, but within the first month, the central infotainment system started to freeze, the rearview camera would not turn on, the headlights would flash and the blinkers malfunctioned.
The plaintiff claims the problems persisted despite multiple repairs, software updates and a recall.
The Volvo class action lawsuit alleges the issues are due to pervasive software bugs and failures in the design, development, testing and validation of Volvo’s AAOS.
Class action alleges Volvo knew infotainment system defect
Leonberg argues that the infotainment system defect is so severe that it renders the vehicles non-compliant with federal safety standards, as it affects critical functions like the rearview camera and defrosting systems.
The class action lawsuit claims Volvo knew about the defect before selling the vehicles but failed to disclose it to consumers.
Leonberg is looking to represent anyone who purchased or leased a class vehicle in Pennsylvania.
The Volvo infotainment system class action lawsuit is seeking damages and restitution as well as a notification to class members about the defect.
Currently, Volvo is facing another class action lawsuit accusing the company of concealing a safety defect in its XC40 Recharge vehicles.

12 thoughts onVolvo sued over alleged infotainment system defect that poses safety risks
I live just outside Charlotte, NC and own a 2024 XC 60 with approx 30,000 miles. The infotainment system lost its internet connection and in March 2026 the dealer replaced the entire technology EU module. 3 months later the same issues have returned nd the dealer is replacing the EU module again. All this is in addition to the dealer having to replace the A/C compressor, condenser and evaporator in 2025.
