What This Recall Means

Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

What Happened

The fuel pump in your Volvo is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. Over time, in hot climates and with varying fuel quality, this pump can develop hairline cracks in its metal flange.

Risk if Unfixed

If the cracks appear, you might smell fuel and see a leak. If there's an ignition source nearby, this could lead to a fire.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Volvo dealer will inspect the fuel pump and replace it with a redesigned, safer version – for free. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
