2002 Volvo V70XC Fuel system Problems

“Fuel smell and leak from top of fuel tank area of fuel pump. Volvo specialty shop contracted a local dealership and was told repair was covered by this recall. I called same dealership to make appointment for repair and was told it was a 10 yr extended warranty item and not covered. My car has been registered in va since aug 2011. Is it covered by this recall notice or not”

“2002 Volvo V70XC started leaking fuel after normal driving. Took the vehicle to a dealership and they discovered a cracked fuel pump housing at only 108,000 miles. The pump did not have a mechanical failure. The part was replaced with an improved part due to faulty/inferior design/manufacture. The part is currently on national back order due to a high demand as other consumers are experiencing similar failures.”

“1) fuel smell, and harder to start engine. Engine crank w/o problem. Symptoms started around july 4th last year, getting sever and more often. Took my car to local Volvo, but they said no recall for this car even though multiple exact same symptoms are reported, then took my car to local auto repair garage finally, today mechanic calls and says fuel pump failure . …”
