Volvo Recalls 2010 XC90s for Potential Fuel Leak Issue

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that Volvo has issued a recall on the 2010 XC90. The recall covers roughly 2,500 vehicles, and is due to a potential leak in the fuel line between the line and a connector.

The first sign of the leak MAY be the smell of fuel, but it’s also possible that a fire could break out at the right front wheel of the vehicle if an ignition source sparks it, even without the smell.

Dealers will check the date code printed on the fuel line and replace it if a recall has been issued for it. The fix will be performed for free.

Owners may contact Volvo at 800-458-1552 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hot line at 888-327-4236.
