Fuel smell and leak from top of fuel tank area of fuel pump. Volvo specialty shop contracted a local dealership and was told repair was covered by this recall.

Is it covered by this recall notice or not.

4 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2014

1) fuel smell, and harder to start engine. Engine crank w/o problem. Symptoms started around July 4th last year, getting sever and more often. Took my car to local Volvo, but they said "no recall for this car" even though multiple exact same symptoms are reported, then took my car to local auto repair garage finally, today mechanic calls and says "fuel pump failure". 2) transmission slip, "shock" when shift up, around 2nd to 3rd gear, also many user complain aisin-made transmission slips/shock when shift up, program/softwear update solves some users but no all, local dealer says "update costs about 200 dollars, because of no recall", also they say "but may not solve problem" why they don't see any recall for my car, or why I cannot get any support from Volvo, even many user complain same symptoms?.
