On the 2017-2025 Volvo V90, the wiring harness that flexes through the tailgate hinge area chafes and breaks wires from repeated opening and closing. This causes the rear wiper, license plate lights, rear camera, or power tailgate to malfunction intermittently.
Inspect the wiring harness at the tailgate hinge. Repair broken wires with solder and heat shrink. Route the repaired harness with additional protective loom to prevent recurrence.

On the 2017-2025 Volvo V90, the Sensus touchscreen infotainment system freezes, goes black, or reboots randomly. This affects navigation, climate control (which is controlled through the screen), and media. Early models are most affected, but it persists to some degree across model years.
Perform a software update at the dealer. A hard reset (hold the home button for 30 seconds) can temporarily resolve freezes. If the issue persists after updates, the infotainment module may need replacement.

On the 2017-2024 Volvo V90, the V90 with optional rear air suspension (standard on Cross Country) develops air spring leaks and compressor failure following the same pattern as the S90 and XC90. The rear air springs crack from thermal cycling and UV exposure, leaking air slowly. The compressor then overworks to maintain ride height, eventually failing. The V90 Cross Country is particularly affected because the air suspension is standard equipment and the higher ride height puts more stress on the air springs. Failure typically occurs between 50,000-80,000 miles.
Same repair approach as S90 air suspension. Replace rear air springs (Volvo left 31360949, right 31360950). Replace compressor if failed (Volvo 31360720) along with relay and dryer. Arnott aftermarket air springs available at 40% savings. Cross Country models should have alignment checked after air spring replacement as ride height affects geometry. Some V90 owners convert to standard coil springs (Eibach Pro-Kit) but this changes the ride characteristics significantly.
