Volvo Recalls Cars for Fuel Pump Problem
Christopher Jensen recently reported, “Volvo is recalling almost 12,000 vehicles because a computer problem involving the fuel pump, [which] could allow the vehicles to stall. The affected vehicles are the 2008-2010 S80, the 2009-2010 XC60 and the 2009-2010 XC70” (New York Times, 9/11).
After receiving several complaints of the smell of gasoline or a leak, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has “begun an investigation to see if there is a problem related to the fuel pump on almost 53,000 of [Volvo's] 2004 XC90 S.U.V.’s.”

As a personal injury lawyer, I always encourage people to stay up to date on vehicle recalls by visiting the NTSHA website, and to act quickly when they are affected
