Volvo technical service bulletin 5202 for 2001 Volvo S60, 1999 Volvo S80 and 2001 Volvo V70.

Bulletin number
5202
Component
Service brakes, hydraulic: power assist: vacuum
Summary
This bulletin states that certain models now have different brake pedal feel due to the brake booster characteristics. With newer cars, the brake booster is more sensitive to changes in the vacuum from the engine, which may result in slight variations in booster reinforcement / pedal travel. A customer is most likely to notice this pedal height variation when applying the brake pedal for an extended period, for example, while sitting at a stop light. This variation is normal and does not affect the function or efficiency of the brakes. Tt

Owners of these vehicles have filed 35 complaints in the brakes category.
