It does raise an eyebrow to hear that Volvo immediately came out of the gate offering to cover half the charge. Would seem to imply they’re a bit concerned themselves. I say this because I have a ’17 BMW X5 (I know, sacrilegious, but I do also own 3 240’s), and back in January ’22 I had the dealer do a regular oil change. Immediately after that, I had a health issue that put me down for a few months and I couldn’t drive. Once I could, I began driving the car. Probably hadn’t put but about 1000 miles on it (if that) and one day was coming down the interstate when a fellow was motioning me to roll my window down. States I was spilling oil. Didn’t see any warnings on the dash, so kept going. Two minutes later, the car lit up like a Christmas tree telling me to pull over and fill the engine with oil. Stopped the car (it was running at the time) and had it towed to the dealer. They, in turn, started the car to pull it into the shop and seized the engine. When they called to let me know the car needed a new engine because the drain plug “fell out” and lost all oil, they asked if I wanted to put a new engine in ($21,000) or if I wanted them to source a used. When they clearly took the stance they weren’t at fault by telling me the repair/replacement cost was squarely on my shoulders, I did lawyer up. They did the usual “change of court venue” stalling, then another delay or two because of one thing, or another, we finally had our day in court 8 months later. The car sat at the dealer that whole time. They were countersuing for storage. Literally with 5 minutes before the case was to be heard in front of the judge, they asked if I would be willing to negotiate. They offered something stupid, and I declined. They came back again with something a little more improved, but not good enough. Eventually, they came to the table with a completely refurbished engine (at cost), they would absorb the labor and they would drop the countersuit. I was out of pocket for $4000 (which still torqued my soul), but I didn’t have any hard concrete evidence they were at fault (although they certainly were), and they had no concrete evidence I was at fault (I’ve never as much raised the hood on the car, much less messed with it, but no proof of that). So, I have a ’17 X5 with 44k miles on it and an engine with less than 5k miles on it and a lifetime warranty on the engine. Wish it hadn’t even happened, but I was somewhat made whole, and the lawyer was a good friend who didn’t charge me to represent me.
