3 recalls across 3 model years
The Volvo V40 has 3 recalls covering the 2001-2004 model years, with the most serious being a fuel rail weld defect on 2003 models where a leaking fuel nipple can allow fuel to escape near ignition sources, creating a fire risk.
The 2004 model year has a brake booster vacuum valve and hose assembly that can develop a leak, reducing the power assist to the brakes and requiring noticeably more pedal force to bring the vehicle to a stop. On 2001 sedan and wagon models, a diode inside the electronic climate control system can fail prematurely, shutting down the heater fan and disabling the defroster.
