Volvo Car V70: Reduced Braking Performance
- Recalling firm
- VOLVO CAR
- Product
- Vehicles: VOLVO CAR V70, VOLVO CAR XC70, VOLVO CAR S80, VOLVO CAR V60. Units affected: 13,576
- Reason
- Investigations have identified the wiper arm mechanism may chafe against the brake booster vacuum line. If this chafing occurs it could lead to a gradual reduction of the power assisted braking and more effort would need to be applied to the brake pedal than usual to slow the vehicle down. In a worst case the reduction of braking assistance could occur suddenly without any prior warning Remedy: Inspect the brake booster vacuum line. If it is chafed then it should be replaced and routed correctly. If the line is not chafed it should re-routed to ensure no issues going forward.
