Any chance you know the part number of the "comfort" pads they put on? Just wanted to compare notes with the part numbers listed when they replaced mine last year.

Hi Greg...I can ask the dealer but doubt they will respond, it's like pulling teeth trying to get any info from them. Good to hear it's not occurred since changing.

Ahh, OK. I believe the part numbers were listed on the print-out I got when I picked up our car after the brake replacement. I guess not all dealers provided that level of detail.

The service invoice says: INSTALLED 32287447-0 : BRAKE PAD KIT

Interesting. Ours says brake pad kit 32287446. I must research differences.
OK, here's what I found - according to Volvo 32287447 is the comfort pad, and 32287446 is NOT the comfort pad, so the dealer didn't install the comfort pads on our car. Grrr.

Hi Greg...according to my dealer, he was told to fit 'comfort' pads with part no. 3227 6933...this was from Volvo tech team...another anomaly!!

Hi Greg...dealer just replied to the anomaly in part nos.. seems each model in XC40 range has a different set of part nos. and also that part nos. differ in different markets so you take your pick...it's all done with mirrors !!

Just looking at that P/N, it may be for XC40s with smaller rear brakes than the Recharge Twin (ipd lists it for many XC40s and the XC40 P6 single-motor FWD). I assumed the XC40 Recharge Twin and Recharge single-motor both got the larger rear brakes shared with the XC60/XC90, but maybe that's not the case. I know our Recharge Twin has the large rear brakes, so 32276933 pads wouldn't be compatible as far as I can tell. Learning something new every day!

Has anyone else had this problem? I recently traveled internationally and did not drive my XC40 Recharge for 2 weeks. When I tried to drive it, there was a loud clunking from the rear of the car that recurred at about 1 knock per wheel revolution. I called Volvo and they took the car to the dealership. It turns out the rear pads had seized to the rotor and all had to be replaced. Whereas most cars have a pin that is inserted in the transmission when put into "park", the electric Recharge with a variable motor instead of a transmission just locks up the rear brakes. So evidently, leaving the car that long (mine was in a garage in very moderate southern California temperatures) can seize the pads to the rotors. Volvo is going to have to come up with a solution to this. Has anyone else left their car parked for a long time and had, or not had, any issue like this?

Yes. They are replacing pads and rotors a second time for the same issue.
