2010 VOLVO XC90 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Volvo XC90 has 5 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: a portable Garmin GPS unit whose battery can overheat and ignite, and a fuel line that can leak near an ignition source and catch fire at the front wheel. The fuel system concern appears in two related filings describing the same problem: a defective fuel pressure line or connector that allows fuel to seep and, over time, develop into a more significant leak. On the steering side, power steering fluid can leak from the connection at the steering gear valve housing, causing the steering to suddenly feel much heavier and harder to turn, which raises the risk of losing control. One of the steering recalls specifically affects vehicles equipped with a V8 engine.
