What's wrong: On certain sedans and station wagons, there may be a fuel leak from the fuel rail due to inadequate welding.

Why it matters: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will install a v-clamp to the fuel rail. Owner notification began on January 28, 2004. Owners should contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.
