Volvo Car S60: Fire May Occur

Volvo Recall Summary Volvo is recalling approximately 6,760 vehicles (including S60, S40, C30, XC60, V60, XC70, V50, and V70 models) with five-cylinder engines because high pressure fuel pipes may not have been installed correctly and could leak fuel. A fuel smell in the engine bay may indicate the problem, and in severe cases could result in an engine fire. Affected vehicles will have the high pressure fuel pipes replaced.
