My customer was headed northbound on hwy 63, had just passed over I-70 when the customer heard a poof and smoke started bellowing from the hood and the tailpipe. They pulled over on the side of the road immediately, but by then smoke was coming out of the vents as well. They got out of the car, and called 911 because of smoke started to thicken. About one minute later, flames started coming out from underneath the right (pass) side of the car and within 25-30 seconds, flames were coming from up under the hood as well. The fire department got there and put out the fire. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership from there. The car was in perfect condition. It passed inspection at the Honda dealership. We don't know what happened or what went wrong. We did some research and there was a recall number 09V477000; fuel system. This recall was supposedly fixed by Volvo. We contacted Volvo and they said that there is nothing that they could do. However, in carfax there is no record of the recall or that the recall was fixed.
