Fuel Pump Problems of Volvo S70

I was unable to start the Volvo S70 2000 engine at all on 7/2/12 and after checked by technician that the fuel pump was not working and replacement was needed. This problems had occurred many times in the last 6 months, yet I was able to start the engine after several tries. This time, the engine was not started at all even with many tries that the fuel pump replacement is definitely needed and it costs me $732 to fix it on 7/3/12. Based on the Volvo recalls history, Volvo S70 from 2001 forwards models were recalled. But I wonder why was not for my S70 2000 which had the similar problem. Please instruct and assist on how to received reimbursement from Volvo the cost of the fuel replacement since this was the similar problem in the recalls for Volvo S70 from 2001 forwards models.

The contact owns a 1999 Volvo S70. For a number of months the contact complained to an independent repair shop about the strong smell of gas accumulating overnight in the garage after filling the gas tank to full. The contact was advised it was either the gas cap or the fuel tank. The gas cap was replaced, but there was still no improvement. The contact returned to the repair shop where the problem was identified as failed seals on the metal fuel lines entering and exiting the lid of the fuel pump installed on top of the fuel tank under the trunk. The adhesive or sealant that secured the metal in the line and metal out line to the filters plastic lid had cracked and gas vapors and gasoline leaked out of the cracks. The fuel pump was replaced. The failure and current mileages were 170,750. Updated 03/15/11.

2000 Volvo s-70 car stalled while traveling at any speed. I had to spend $1200 to have the electronic module that regulates the airflow and gas to the engine replaced. I did some research and found this to be a common problem with this model. Volvo is aware of the problem, but is not recalling or reimbursing car owners.
