Volvo S60 recalled for faulty fuel pumps

The first recall exercise took place on May 26, and Volvo then had to recall S60 sedans built from November 18, 2010 to May 5, 2011 to update the fuel pump software because it may not be compatible with all the fuel pumps and components resulting in insufficient fuel transfer in the pump unit.

The latest recall lies pertains to a problem with the S60’s fuel pump assembly, and affects a total of 448 S60 sedans made from January 18, 2011 to January 28, 2011. The affected vehicles are sold mostly in America, but Volvo will notify dealers to inform the affected owners.

Volvo said that the main problem is that the male part of the fuel line quick connector end shape was produced with dimensions out of specification and could detach from the engine. If this were to occur, the engine could stall while the driver may also notice a fuel smell and leakage, which could result in a fire.
