Xc40 Brake Disc Warp

[nikfaridz]

Hi There,
I have a 2019 xc40 T5. I had a stering vibrate issue when braking. Brought to Volvo and the confirm it was front disc warp. And the changed all 4 disc and pads. This was in Nov 2019.
And now it’s happening again after almost 2 years apart. Current mileage is 45K kilometres . The service centre folks said that ‘the disc warped under wear and tear’. To me it’s an unacceptable excuse/reason. I asked them to do an under carriage inspection and it seems everything is working fine.
Has anybody encounter anything like this and if so pls advise the solution.
Tq in advance guys.

very unusual, are you doing a lot of hard braking down the mountains ? also are you using genuine volvo discs? and why did they change all 4 discs , I would assume the rear ones were perfectly good ?

It would be interesting to see where the actual warp is , the disc or the hub. Obviously it will need new front discs again but I would be inclined to measure any run out with a dial gauge on the new discs before you drive it .

The car belongs to my wife and she drives it to work daily. My place has no mountain. The car is still under warranty and the discs and pads were replaced by volvo. The replied from service guys ‘ front is slightly bad compare to the rear.’
My wife previous car was a Honda Stream, had it more than 10 yrs and still using original disc.
