What are the signs of bad brakes on a 2025 Volvo XC90?
The red brake warning light on your dash means the system detected a fault; other clear signs include squealing, grinding, pulsation, and longer stops.
If your 2025 Volvo XC90 shows any of these symptoms in Norwood’s stop-and-go traffic, schedule a prompt inspection. Wear indicators can squeal when pads thin, and rotor thickness variation can cause pedal vibration. Our Volvo-trained technicians document pad thickness and rotor condition so you can decide confidently. Book a visit to keep your XC90 safe and responsive.
- Squeal from built-in pad wear indicators is an early warning
- Pulsation under braking often points to rotor thickness variation

Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2025 Volvo XC90?
Replace both only if rotors are at/below minimum thickness or heat-checked; if rotors measure within spec and are smooth, pads alone are acceptable.
Our Norwood team micrometers your 2025 Volvo XC90 rotors and records measurements. If rotors are within Volvo spec and surfaces are true, pad-only service maintains safety and helps control cost. If rotors are under spec or uneven, pairing new pads with new rotors prevents noise and vibration. Well show you measurements before work begins.

Warranty work typically must be performed at a certified facility to protect eligibility; our team can review your coverage and next steps.
