Hi all. Here is a great source of recall info (V40 has six): http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/re...olvo&makeId=E9
You need to know your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to see which applies. Hope this helps. |

I just tried following the link above but it has changed, you can now find the recall info at
http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/re...=E9&lowIndex=0 My V40 last saw a main dealer in 2005 so I'm fairly sure anything would have been done if needed. Does anybody contact Volvo to register second hand cars? I've seen the change of ownership form in the handbook but never filled one in. |

Hello I am the second owner of my Volvo and it is a 2003 petrol 2.0 sport V40 which would fall into that category of racalls. I notice fuel smell in the boot area and occasionally there is some wet/ condensation under the rear seat where the fuel tank and pump sits.
I am nowhere near the original dealer so do you know if my local Volvo dealer has an obligation to take this in and would it be free for me as a second hand owner since 2012? |

I spoke to a local dealer who said mine was done when services according to a national recall database. Never heard of such database but i don't think the would lie about it so I'm happy. Thanks for posting this.

I have two Volvos for the moment : ‘96 2.0i S40 / ‘03 2.5T XC90 My father has bought S40 since 2002 and its been at our family since then, but like every 20s boys i want to make our S40 more beauty and stylish. I want to upgrade it to a phase 2 model in interior and exterior. What should i look for, because i’ve seen in many groups that are some problems expecially in exterior things. I would be very greatful for your advices ! Ps: Sorry if i’ve made any mistake in writting english 😂 |

S40 recall
Just seen this message (12/4/23!) I never received any contact from Volvo! Haven’t seen any recall notices when I have entered it’s details in the gov page for MOT details etc & when I checked on a Volvo site. What’s the exact details of the recall? Can I still take my Volvo into a dealer?

A I though I bought it in March / April 2004, so assume Volvo would have known about this issue and checked it?
