Volvo has officially released a recall for 7,558 2012 S60 vehicles because of a potental problem with the fuel pump. The fuel pump issue may lead to engine hesitation and stalling even if the fuel gauge idicates up to a quarter tank of gas. This issue could potentially lead to a crash.

The software for the fuel pump unit may not be compatible with all fuel pumps and components. This may result in an insufficient transfer of fuel in the pump unit. The S60’s affected include cars made from November 18, 2010 through May 5 2011.

Volvo expects the safety recall to begin June 17. The dealer will upgrade the engine control module software for free.

If Volvo owners have any questions, they are asked to call 1-201-768-7300
