The problem: When exposed to hot climates, temperature cycling and varying fuel quality, one version of these Volvos' electric fuel pumps can develop cracks in the flange, resulting in a fuel leak. Owners may notice fuel smell and/or seepage.

Corrective action: On vehicles exhibiting fuel smell or seepage, dealers will confirm the fuel pump flange is cracked and replace the assembly with an updated unit.

Warranty info: Repairs will be covered under an extended warranty (10 years or 150,000 miles from the original vehicle in-service date, whichever comes first).

What owners should do: Call your local dealer with your vehicle's identification number to see if it's involved in this extended warranty. You can also call Volvo at 800-458-1552. Reference TSB No. SB23-221.
