The well known upper front wishbone issue, don't know if mine has had the work done. Not concerned as I know the state of my upper wishbones is fine last night when I measured the ARB diameter for some new bushes and checked all the joints for play. The Upper wishbones have to be checked by writhing at the top of the wheel after driving the car and before jacking it up.

Only one recall and it doesn't apply to my specific car, but it does apply to some similar variants of it.

Case Number: RJ-0457-2
Period: 1989-10-02 - 1994-03-18
Issued: Wed, 1996-05-08

I guess that capacitor design was later used in ABit motherboards.
 
Volvo V40:
Tow bar may detach
Front brake callipers may crack
Fuel may leak
Demist/defrost system may fail
Power assistance to steering may fail
Brake vacuum pump may fail.

So, I will be unable to see my caravan detach itself through the iced windscreen and will be unable to slowdown or steer. While on fire.
