Service bulletin 23-140
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC and Volvo Cars of Canada Ltd. (Volvo) have decided that in certain cases, after prolonged exposure to extreme heat, the fuel tank in all model year 1994-1997 Volvo 850 vehicles may develop a crack at the heat shield attachment. This is because the heat shield attachment locations may not meet certain Volvo specifications. When this occurs, a fuel odor may be present and fuel seepage is possible. The corrective action will be to inspect the vehicle for fuel seepage or cracks at the heat shield attachment points. The fuel tank will be replaced if any seepage or cracks are found. To prevent future occurrence of fuel seepage or cracks, the corrective action will be to install a bushing to each of the heat shield attachments on the fuel tank.
