According to media reports, Volvo will recall in the United States S60, S90 and S90L cars produced between 2019 and 2020; V60, V60 CC;V90 and V90 CC, as well as XC60 and XC90 models, totaling more than 85000. The reason for the recall is that there is a fuse problem with the fuel pump fuse, which may cause the engine to stall. According to relevant information, the recall will begin on August 1.

The 15A fuse of the low-pressure fuel pump may fuse when the engine control module is required to shut down the fuel delivery module due to peak current, according to documents submitted by Volvo to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Volvo said the fuse would stop the low-pressure fuel pump from running and cause the engine to stall, as well as prevent any affected engine from starting. There are no reports of injuries, deaths or crashes caused by the problem, and Volvo points out that PHEV models affected by the problem can safely stop and start as long as the battery is fully charged.

It is understood that the Volvo recall will replace the fuel pump fuse free of charge, excluding Volvo XC40 and pure electric models, other Volvo S60, S90, V60, V60 Cross Country, V90, V90 Cross Country, XC60, XC90 are among them.

It is worth noting that this is not Volvo's first large-scale recall.

The reason for the recall is that there is a wear problem with a steel wire connected to the vehicle seat belt, which may reduce the restraint capacity of the front seat belt. The solution is to replace the steel wire with a fixed bracket. The original parts and replacement parts are from the Swedish supplier Otto Liv. Volvo said the recall was to prevent possible future problems. "the recall is a strong solution to eliminate the risk of this problem in the future," the company said.

In March, however, Volvo announced a global recall that covers almost all models on sale, a total of 736400, including 150900 in the Chinese market. The main reason is a problem with the AEB emergency braking system. Volvo said that under certain circumstances and at certain temperatures, the vehicle's AEB emergency braking system may not work properly and enable the vehicle to achieve emergency braking. Volvo also said the failure was related to a problem with the AEB sensor software inside the front windshield and was recalling all affected cars for updates to the AEB software.
