Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, water can enter the electrical brake vacuum pump, causing the pump to fail.
Why it matters: This could result in loss of power assist and an increase in needed brake pedal force, which could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the pump with a new and improved version and move the pump to a new location. Owner notification began on March 15, 2004. Owners should contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
