My V40 had to have a complete new clutch pedal assembly due to it sticking.
At first you could feel a very slight "notchy" feel under your foot as you pressed the pedal down.
It was like this on and off for a while, but it gradually started to feel worse under the foot, and finally you could feel & hear the point where it was catching.

Apparently the problem was due to a batch of clutch assemblies being poorly manufactured, some part of the mechanism had been poorly welded during manufacture, the weld had been left too proud, causing the pedal to catch on another bit of the mechanism, which then caused the pedal to not fully come back up.

The service manager at my Volvo dealership said they had dealt with a number of V40's with the same issue.
Apparently there was talk of a Volvo call back but I heard nothing.
Mine has been fine since it was changed under warranty.

Had the same with mine, Volvo eventually changed the clutch pedal assembly and not had an issue since (2 years at least)
