Details

What's wrong: The brake pedals may not have been correctly riveted, allowing the pedal to move out of position, possibly reducing braking performance.

Why it matters: 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.
