Tank Assembly Problems of Volvo XC70

While driving along with fuel indicator reading 1/4 - 1/2 tank remaining, my 2008 Xc70 engine completely stalls out. This has happened twice and both times could have been potentially very dangerous. I am sickened to learn there is a recall for the 2011 model (software calibration for the fuel cut-functionality in the engine control module is too sensitive) but not the 2008! thanks Volvo!!.
