volvo offers lifetime warranty on replacement parts

Volvo announced today it will warranty any replaced part and labor, not including wear-and-tear items and accessories, for the life of the car. The coverage extends only to service at dealerships.

Volvo owners will pay for the initial replacement parts and labor on vehicles with expired warranties, but Volvo will pay for any additional service on that part for as long as the owner has the car. The parts warranty covers all models from all years and will be honored at all North American Volvo dealerships, according to the automaker.

“The lifetime parts and labor warranty is a commitment to both quality vehicles and quality customer relationships,” Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America said in a statement. “Everyone should feel confident that Volvo is here to support our customers throughout the ownership of their vehicle.”

The parts warranty is part of Volvo’s larger service program that includes roadside assistance, software upgrades and the ever-important, free carwash.

With an upcoming U.S. plant, perhaps Volvo will save on shipping costs.

Damn, right after I swapped the front spring seats on my R for aftermarket billet aluminum ones. They are going to swapping out a lot of them. Curious if it would cover shocks on that platform. They are only available from Monroe and run about $300 a piece. Ufda.

  Billet aluminum springs? That's not the traditional, conventional way to make springs. I hope they last...

  @JimC2 Heh, just the seats at the top of the strut towers. The Volvo ones are a hard rubber with a molded in steel bearing for the shock mount. They are notorious for wearing out in a hurry. I've had three sets on my S60R in 5 years. Even the ones designed for the XC90 wore out. I suspect they are no match for the dry air in Arizona. The new ones I've put in are made out of CNC'd billet aluminum with a real ball bearing race for the struts to rotate on. Also get camber and caster adjustment too. Nice stuff. :-)

  @brickgeek Big woops- reading comprehension fail on my part. Billet aluminum spring SEATS. Thanks for informative--and polite--response. Nice that they're camber and caster adjustable. Even if the car probably doesn't need that, the freedom to experiment a bit can make the car more enjoyable.

  Shocks will inevitably be considered a "wear part". I bet strut bearings will be too. This is a steaming pile of "meh". What are the chances anyone who buys a new Volvo is going to keep it long enough to have the same non-wear parts fail? Irv Gordon might have gotten a few freebies, but not very many other people.

  @brickgeek GF's 2004 S60 2.4i had a shot front end by the time it had 115k miles. Tie rod ends, which were replaced, and the strut mounts were definitely goners by the time we sold it to a highschooler on craigslist. Between the peeling interior trim, greyed and crumbling exterior trim, the random airbag warning light and flickering dash display, and the bag-of-bolts suspension, that car felt flat wore out after less than 10 years and 120k miles. To its credit the paint looked great and it of course had absolutely zero rust.

  @krhodes1 It's the guarantee on the box that matters. Even if what's in the box is a guaranteed piece of sh1t.

I'd consider this if it meant lifetime replacements for interior parts, its getting to be nearly impossible to keep my 240 wagon looking good inside. Well that and a MAF, exterior trim, water pump perhaps, exaust, certainly that dumb big pan under the engine. Oh, and ODOMETER GEARS!

I ordered an XC90 T8 about a month ago that I'll have in February. This is good news because the wife and I were a little nervous about being early adopters, despite the good reviews on the T8 early on. I hope Volvo makes a strong comeback. I'm sure as hell willing to help because the XC90 is the best in its class right now. Big motors and bad gas mileage is a thing of the past for me. I need efficiency and luxury and Volvo has the best combination of that right now. A great warranty is icing on the cake for me.

Meh. Call me when all non-replacement parts are covered under-warranty for as long as the original owners keeps the car.
