“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“2004 Volvo S60 fuel pressure sensor. Volvo issued a recall for this for 2003-2004 models. My car had this problem and its symptoms (car stalling). Volvo dealership said my car did not fall into recall due to VIN # break. Volvo corporation never bothered to return my calls. I feel that I should be reimbursed for this repair as it clearly meets the recall description.”

If I would have been rear ended going at this speed I could have lost my life. Check engine light came on and all codes are associated with the 181 recall. Called Volvo and Volvo stated that this VIN number was not part of the recall yet I am experiencing the same exact problem and have the same exact engine codes when running a diagnostics test associated with this recall.”

Took the car to Volvo of georgetown and local Volvo mechanic who both told me that the vehicle needed a new fuel pump but I was not covered under the S60 fuel pump recall a few years prior. Big safety hazard and concern!”
