What this recall means for you
A restricted screen in the fuel pump cooling circuit can cause the fuel line to burst, especially during extended downhill driving. A burst line can leak diesel onto the road, creating a hazard for other drivers. The engine may also stall without warning and fail to restart, which raises the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free at an authorized dealer. The single screen filter banjo bolt will be replaced with a dual screen filter banjo bolt. Cummins will notify owners, but you can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-528-6586, referencing recall RVXX1802.
