ENTERING MY VEHICLE I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. UPON INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS WAS DUE TO A CRACKED FUEL PUMP. BECAUSE OF THIS VERY PROBLEM, THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE WAS OFFICIALLY RECALLED BY VOLVO IN 2009 AS PART OF NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE09039 NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 09V483000 . HOWEVER THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES SOLD IN AL, AZ, AR, CA, FL, GA, HI, KY, LA, MS, NV, NM, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA AND THE US TERRITORIES. THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN TO ANY OF THESE CARS REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY WERE SOLD. THE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS THAT MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY HAZARD OCCUR IN NEW ENGLAND AS WELL AS THE SOUTH AND WEST. THE DEFECTIVE PART AND SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS FOR ALL OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND EVERY ONE OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED.
