An official EU Safety Gate notice concerns Passenger car C30, S40 and V50 Volvo. Null The product poses a risk of injuries because the cover on top of the engine could chafe against the brake vacuum hose. If this occurs, it may lead to a vacuum leak in the brake booster system and a gradual reduction of brake booster assistance. This would lead to the brake pedal becoming harder to push than normal and increased force would be required to stop the car. Published 2011-07-15.
