Volvo recalls over 140K 2001-2005 and 2010 MY vehicles over fuel system issues

Volvo is recalling certain vehicles sold in the US because the fuel pump can develop cracks in the fuel pump flange when exposed to certain climate conditions, particularly hot climates, over time and in combination with varying fuel quality.

Owners of these models may notice fuel smell and/or a fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Vehicles affected:
Vehicle Make / Model / Model Year(s):

VOLVO / S60 2001-2004
VOLVO / S80 2002-2005
VOLVO / V70 2001-2004
VOLVO / XC70 2001-2004
VOLVO / XC90 2003-2005

If one has a model number affected by the recall, a dealer will inspect the fuel pump installed and replace it with a part of a modified design – free of charge - starting in January 2010. Owners may call Volvo at 866-637-3774.
