Background:
Volvo Cars North America LLC (Volvo) has decided that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists in certain model year 2000 S40 and V40
vehicles. Under certain circumstances, water may enter the electrical brake vacuum pump, causing the pump to not function. This will require more brake
force to stop the vehicle. However, this is primarily noticed at cold start. This limited braking power can affect the vehicle's stopping performance.
The corrective action will be to replace the vacuum pump with a new pump of a modified design. This new pump will be placed in a new location to
prevent water intrusion.
