Crack in the fuel pump flange. Same problem as Dec 18, 2009 recall. Was fixed on 10/14/10. Gas dripping on ground, inside smells of gas.
Entering my vehicle I smelled a strong odor of gasoline. Upon investigation, I found this was due to a cracked fuel pump. Because of this very problem, this make and model of vehicle was officially recalled by Volvo in 2009 as part of NHTSA action number : pe09039 NHTSA recall campaign number : 09v483000 . However the recall only applies to vehicles sold in al, az, ar, CA, FL, GA, hi, ky, la, ms, nv, nm, nc, ok, SC, TN, TX, ut, va and the us territories. The problem can happen to any of these cars regardless of where they were sold. The temperature fluctuations that may be responsible for the safety hazard occur in new england as well as the south and west. The defective part and safety issue exists for all owners of these cars and every one of them should be recalled.

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. I called same dealership to make appointment for repair and was told it was a 10 yr extended warranty item and not covered. My car has been registered in va since Aug 2011. Is it covered by this recall notice or not.
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?.
I began to notice a fuel smell and drip marks under the vehicle after parking the vehicle after driving into the garage in the evening. Upon investigation, I noted fuel drips on the underbody of the vehicle in the area slightly in the front of the fuel tank. I also noticed the development of a fuel puddle immediately under the vehicle in that location. I immediately contacted the Volvo dealer for servicing. Once at the dealer, it was determined that the electric fuel pump was leaking fuel. It was explained to me that the fuel pump housing was cracked and leaking fuel at an unsafe condition. I was advised to replace the pump immediately due to the high level of fuel leakage. I was also advised that the fuel tank sending pump was also defective and required immediate replacement. The Volvo dealer, jenkins imports, replaced the defective units on 22 October 2013. I have retained the defective parts.
Car stalled in traffic three times. Our mechanic said it that the wires to the fuel pump and its module were rotting, causing electric problems and the stalls in traffic. It now appears Volvo knows about this problem and has issued a technical bulletin to its mechanics as to how to fix it but has not notified the public or issued a recall. This is a potentially dangerous situation since stalls can cause accidents and rotting wires can cause fires.
