What's wrong?
The fuel line on the 2010 Volvo XC90 carries gasoline from the tank toward the engine. A connector joins sections of that line so fuel stays sealed inside the delivery system while the pump sends it forward. That seal matters because the line is under pressure whenever the vehicle is running.
On affected XC90 vehicles, the problem is at the joint between the fuel line and one connector. The filing says a leak can develop at that connection. In plain terms, fuel that should stay inside the line escapes at the joint instead, so the dealer needs to inspect and repair the fuel delivery connection under the recall.
Volvo did not list a warning sign before the leak starts. There is no warning sign before failure.

What's the safety risk?
A fuel odor is the warning sign named in this recall. A fuel leak near the right front wheel, in the presence of an ignition source, can lead to a fire. If you smell fuel, stop using the vehicle and call a Volvo dealer for guidance before driving again. Repair will be free at any franchised Volvo dealer once available.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Volvo dealer to request the free fuel-line inspection and fuel-pressure-line replacement that fixes the leak risk near the right front wheel.
- Avoid driving if you smell fuel. Park away from ignition sources and call the dealer for guidance before moving the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volvo technician inspects the date code printed on the fuel line between the line and connector. If the code falls within the recalled range, the technician replaces the fuel pressure line. The dealer repair is free once available under the recall. The source remedy says this recall began on April 23, 2010, and Volvo listed (800) 458-1552 for owner questions.
