it's a 850 TDI, euro version. has anyone ever had the rubber brake hose fail or deteriorate to a point it's dangerous to use?

With all of the frivilous law suits here in the USA, the lawyers are all buying Ferraris and Rollers. They just happened to get a good lawyer. The brake lines are redundant, the brake warning lamp is there in case the fluid level gets low, and all "normal" manufacturers use flexible brake lines.

Don't buy a lotto ticket, just find a "good" lawyer.

Hoses seem to last forever, no scheduled replacement, just inspection.
I have always been impressed by the Volvo redundant brake circuits and not by ambulance chasing sharks.
