Volvo just announced a major recall that will effect almost 100,000 vehicles in the United States alone, not a huge number by automotive standards but considering Volvo is a smaller sized brand in general this is a large recall for them.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has confirmed that the recall will effect most of Volvos models from the 2019 and 2020 production runs. This includes the s60, s90, v60, v90, xc60 and xc90.

The reason for the recall is tied to a fuse that can break associated with the low pressure fuel pump which can lead to a stall while traveling. There have been no reports of injury or crashes according to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The problem will be resolved with dealers simply replacing the faulty fuel pump fuse.

Owners will be contacted to replace the fuse in August.

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
