S/V 40 models recalled by Volvo ?

Just saw in Danish newspapers this morning that Volvo V/S40 2003-2004 models have some sort of petrol leak - Volvo estimates that 71.000 cars are affected and will be called in - Does anyone here know more about this ?

Regards, Jacob

My 2003-V40 car is being recalled for a condition involving possible insufficient end-cap fixation of fuellines. A condition which might lead to fuel leakage. Basically the recall involvess a checkup. I suspect that the reason for the large number of cars being recalled is that no specific cut-off date (when the fixation problem started) could be established. The solution is an additional fixation.
