Volvo V40
Model Overview
The V40 is Volvo's compact station wagon model, whose understated styling nonetheless earned the design an Italian award for being the world's most beautiful wagon. Though it's based on a Mitsubishi platform, exterior and interior styling is unmistakably Volvo. With the sport utility craze in full swing, the V40 is a refreshing alternative for drivers looking for a practical compact vehicle.

Certain Volvo 850, S40, V40, V50, V70, XC70 and XC90 equipped with integrated child booster cushions were incorrectly labelled during vehicle assembly. The label indicates that the booster cushion can be used for children weighing between 15 and 36 kg (33 and 80 lb). CMVSS 213 states that the minimum weight for use must be 18 kg (40 lb). Should an underweight child be placed in the booster cushion and the vehicle is involved in a crash, the child may have a greater risk of injury. Correction: Volvo Canada will send a letter to owners explaining this problem and will supply updated weight limit decal to be applied to each side window.
