What are the defects?
A manufacturing defect in the fuel pressure line may result in a fuel smell and/or fuel seepage.
What are the hazards?
Since the fuel line is working under a constant pressure, some seepage can, within a short period of time, potentially develop inta a greater leakage. In a worst case scenario such leakage may, with the addition of an external ignition source, potentially lead to a fire in the right front wheel house area.
What should consumers do?
Contact your authorised Volvo dealership for inspection of the manufacturing date printed on the feul line and, if necessary, replacement.
