NHTSA Complaint #11309852 — 2004 VOLVO XC70

ALTHOUGH THE 'CRACKED FUEL PUMP FLANGE' RECALL SERVICE (VOLVO RECALL R220, NHTSA 09V-483) WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, THE VOLVO XC70 HAS AN ADDITIONAL 'FUEL SENDING UNIT' ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS ADDITIONAL FUEL COMPONENT HAS A SIMILARLY FORMED FLANGE WHICH ALSO DEVELOPS A CRACK. EVEN THOUGH THE UNITS ARE SIMILARLY COMPOSED AND BOTH IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE AUXILIARY FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT COVERED UNDER VOLVO RECALL 220. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE FUEL PUMP RECALL, THE CRACK IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL SENDING UNIT ALLOWS GASOLINE TO CONSTANTLY OOZE THROUGH THE CRACK AND SLOWLY POUR ONTO THE GROUND AND PUDDLE. IF A FUEL PUMP FLANGE CRACK ALLOWING GASOLINE TO POUR ONTO THE GROUND WAS CAUSE FOR A RECALL, WHY IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THE AUXILIARY FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT ALSO A CAUSE FOR RECALL?
