Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the non-return valve may crack due to a poor weld causing a vacuum leak.
Why it matters: 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.
