Hi all,

Hoping to purchase a 2016/2017 T8 hybrid xc90 in the coming month however on research I've seen several posts here about the ERAD issues on the T8.

As I would be buying a 16/17 it is likely that I would fall outside the callback time frames should it arise in the future. I've read that North America appears to have a more generous call back of 8 years whereas UK and Ireland is 4 years at 100% and 50% up to 5 years. Is that correct?

Most likely would be purchasing from the UK but importing to Ireland.

What I am looking to understand is how prevalent this issue is? Is there a mileage range where it typically appears?

When you look up pretty much any car you will see numerous posts about certain faults but I've been lucky to date to avoid any major mechanical bills like engine or transmission failure.

What cost range would this issue be to resolve typically? Seen posts saying 2k and then some saying 6k.

Thank you in advance.
