Volvo Car V50: Clutch Pedal Mechanism May Fail
Volvo Clutch Pedal Recall Summary Volvo is recalling approximately 142,348 vehicles (V50, C30, C70, and S40 models) sold in the United Kingdom because the plastic rod connecting the clutch master cylinder to the pedal may break, potentially preventing the driver from disengaging the clutch. In some cases, this failure can occur suddenly without warning. The fix involves replacing the clutch master cylinder with one that has a metal push rod instead of a plastic one.
