“The engine light came on in my 2004 Volvo s60r. The car would loose acceleration and also stalled. Volvo said it was the fuel pressure sensor and that it had been recalled by Volvo- recall # 07v226000. But the VIN # of my car was not included in the recall. It was the same part that was recalled on other 2004 s60s. Why not on the r as well?”
NHTSA complaint #10376516, filed 2011-01, 75,000 miles“I drive a Volvo s60r and when I am accelerating I notice that I have a very large lack of power going from 3000 to 3500 RPM's, there is almost no increase in power. I have brought up the issue with a Volvo dealer and they informed me that there was a recall for this, but my car for some reason did not get the recall. He said it is the same issue but there was nothing he can do about it.”

Took it to our mechanic and he said it was the fuel pressure sensor and that it had been recalled by Volvo- recall # 07v226000. Took it to the dealer and they said that the VIN # of my car was not included in the recall. It was the same part that was recalled on other 2004 s60s. The cost was $450 to repair.”
