Volvo recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
Do not drive. NHTSA and the maker advise owners not to drive these vehicles until they are repaired.
What is wrong
Volvo Car USA LLC (Volvo) is recalling certain 2019 Volvo XC40 vehicles. The brake pedals may not have been correctly riveted, allowing the pedal to move out of position, possibly reducing braking performance.
What could happen
Reduced braking performance can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Volvo has notified owners advising them to stop driving their vehicle. Cars will be inspected on-site or towed to dealers and the brake pedals will be replaced as necessary, free of charge. Volvo began contacting their owners on August 23, 2018. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R59899.
