Defect Summary: Volvo is recalling 1,114 my 2007 c30, c70, s40, and v50 passenger vehicles. a soft anodized layer in the master cylinder may trigger early wear on a rubber seal that can result in internal leakage of brake fluid. if affected, the driver may experience reduced brake performance when applying and maintaining force of the brake pedal.
