general problems of the 2004 Volvo XC70

I own a 2004 Volvo Xc70 that is experiencing the same fuel pump defect described in recall r220 / NHTSA campaign 09v483000 (fuel pump leak). My vehicle exhibits fuel system problems consistent with the recall description. However, my VIN is not included in the current recall population. When I contacted Volvo, I was told my case (id #250827-000998) was escalated to corporate, but I was later informed that no goodwill assistance would be provided because my VIN is not covered. I specifically requested written confirmation of this determination. This defect poses a safety risk that aligns with the existing recall, and I believe additional vehicles outside the current VIN range may be affected. I am requesting that NHTSA review whether the recall should be expanded to include vehicles like mine.

My car kept getting a light for its coolant levels despite me filling it with proper coolant-I noticed a leak of coolant on the ground & upon getting it inspected from an independent service center, they told me the issue was my radiator so we got the part to fix it and a week later fixed the radiator and I didn’t get the light for coolant again. Although the independent service center told me that I actually had a fuel leakage due to my pump and described the issues I’ve been having with my car for a few months as signs to what problems this is causing, this meaning a funky fuel smell, my car struggling to fully turn on-needing multiple tries to actually fully turn on etc. This puts my safety at risk because fuel leakage is extremely dangerous for multiple reasons. Not inspected by manufacturer police or insurance reps. Other than the coolant light issue and the noticed continued leak after the coolant leakage was fixed. After looking into this issue online I found a recall notice from Volvo and called them and they claimed my car wasn’t on this recall notice but my year and model is indeed listed and since im having the same problem as the recall listed its concerning me.

Faulty fuel pump causing leakage.

Fuel pump seal leak/ flange broke. Smelled gas, saw a puddle under the car. Upon fuel pump inspection a failed repair combined with original broken seal flange. We live in a state where the recall was not listed so our next step is to contact Volvo.

I have a copy of recall 220nhtsa#09v483 for a 2004 Volvo Xc70. The reason being fuel smell and/or fuel seepage. We have been smelling fuel for several months and on 7/29/17 I noticed a couple of drops of fuel hit the pavement while looking at the car. I have called Volvo twice concerning this matter and I have also called NHTSA (reference number 1122416) and have been advised that my VIN number does not match the recall, even though it's the same year make and model and is exhibiting the very same symptoms included in the recall. I'm extremely concerned about the safety of my vehicle I. E. Fuel ignition and I don't understand why I am responsible to pay for the necessary repair when my vehicle is clearly included in the recall. I would really appreciate your help in rectifying this safety issue. Thank you, ralph e. Sparks.
