On the 2017-2026 Volvo V90 Cross Country, the V90 Cross Country uses a rear air suspension system for automatic load leveling. The air springs develop leaks at the rubber bellows, particularly in cold climates where the rubber hardens and cracks. The air compressor under the vehicle is exposed to road debris and salt spray, causing premature corrosion and failure. When the system fails, the rear sags under load and the ride height warning illuminates. Volvo does not offer a factory coil spring option for the Cross Country models.
Replace leaking air springs with Arnott or Continental replacements. If the compressor has failed, replace it and the relay. Aftermarket coil spring conversion kits from Arnott (C-2622) eliminate the air suspension entirely for a one-time fix. Protect the compressor with an undercoating spray annually.
