General: - V50 S40 Recall - Page 3

2011 C30, S40 and V50. The recall relates to potential stress cracks in the right side support member in the engine bay.

Does anyone know what this means, as in possible repairs to the vehicle. This sounds like it could be quite serious.

always leave mine in gear... once you get in the habit it's easy to do.

Anybody here heard of a current/actuall recall for the 1.8 and 2.0l petrols?

My dealership informed me, that there is an issue with my radiator fan/cooler and that it needs to be checked...

I must say at the same time: I've NEVER heard it run yet!? Even when standing in a traffic jam etc.!?

My daughter has an 07 V50 D5 automatic. No problems with the handbrake yet.(Famous last words) but, with an automatic and the selector in "park" is the transmission not locked anyway ? I've always owned manuals and was taught a very very long time ago,(I'm a bit old) to always leave the car in a gear the opposite to which it is likely to roll, i.e.pointing downhill, then leave it in reverse and if it's a really severe hill then turn the wheels so that if by some chance it still rolled away it would be against the kerb, assuming that there is a kerb of course.

My local dealer (doves of Croydon) just invited me for a safety recall concerning a clutch master cylinder. Turns out it was outstanding on my car. It's good to call them time to time...

If a Tech takes 3 days to carry out that recall, he needs a bit of training !
