Volvo recalls more than 100,000 cars in US

Volvo will recall more than 100,000 automobiles from the US market for controls and possible repairs after a number of car owners complained that their gas tanks were leaking, the company said on Wednesday.
The Swedish car-making unit of Ford Motor decided to recall the cars after receiving complaints from 45 Volvo 850 Sedan owners that they had smelled gas inside their vehicles and had discovered leaks in their gas tanks, Volvo spokesman Peter Ganjbar told AFP.
In conditions of great heat, the gas eroded a hole in the gas tank, leaving a spot on the outside of the car, he said, insisting that the leak had not led to any accidents.
The leak, according to Ganjbar, had probably come about due to huge climate changes from cold to hot.
