Important notice about recalls

Post by gtaylor36 »

MUST READ Read all of this even if you think it doesn't apply to you.
After reading a post regarding electrical problems in an S70, it suggested calling the dealer about a recall. After looking at my VIN, they told me there were 5 missed recalls for my S70 GLT. I encourage everyone to call their local dealer to see if your car has any outstanding recalls or bulletins that need to be performed FOR FREE!

I took my 850 to the dealer for the fuel tank recall and now it smells like gas everytime the car is on, over by the fuel filler door.

I took it back and they said it was an exhaust leak.

Definitely not an exhaust leak, it's fuel, and started the day I got my car back.

Taking it to my indie maybe he can fix their mistakes.

I had a leaking fuel tank last week and took it to the dealer and they replaced the tank and all hoses FOR FREE under the tank recall :)

In my case I had no leak and they "fixed" it anyway and now I smell gas. They made it worse.
