Toronto, Ontario — January 28, 2019 — Volvo has issued a global recall for 219,000 vehicles in fear of fuel leaks.
The voluntary recall was announced after the Swedish manufacturer identified small cracks on the inside of one of the fuel lines attached to diesel cars built between 2015 and 2016.
After investigating the issue, Volvo concluded that if left unattended, the fuel lines could leak and ultimately present a risk of fire.
Affected models include the: V40 hatchback; V40 Cross Country; S60 saloon; S60 Cross Country; V60 estate; V60 Cross Country; XC60 SUV; V70 estate; XC70; S80 saloon; and XC90 flagship SUV.
In a statement, the OEM said there had been “no reports alleging injuries or damages related to this issue.” The company concluded by saying “Volvo preventatively recalls the cars to avert any possible future problems.”
Owners of Volvo vehicles can check to see if their model is being recalled by visiting the Volvo website. In the meantime, the OEM will be contacting customers through letters to alert them of the recall.
