2004 Volvo S40 & 2004 Volvo V40 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the non-return valve may crack due to a poor weld causing a vacuum leak.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, more brake pedal force may be required to stop the vehicle and/or may experience a rough engine idle, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the vacuum hose. The recall began on november 29, 2004. Owners should contact volvo cars at 1-800-458-1552.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
