2019 VOLVO XC40 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Volvo XC40 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving brake pedals that were not properly fastened during assembly and can shift out of position, reducing stopping power and raising the risk of a crash. Two other recalls cover the rear seats and driver assistance systems. The rear seat backs on certain vehicles may be missing the lock strikers that hold them upright, meaning the seat back can fold forward during hard braking or a crash, increasing the risk of injury to rear passengers. The automatic emergency braking system may also fail to detect obstacles and engage as intended due to a software and hardware incompatibility, leaving the driver without that layer of crash protection.
