Fuel pump needs replacing;smell gas&leaking;can't repair for 2 wks;dangerous?

Thank you. My independent mechanic sent me to Volvo as he said the fuel pump was on recall, but Volvo said my VIN number was not on recall. I called Volvo of America and even spoke with a supervisor who informed me that the recall was for cars beginning in 2001 and that even if my car were a 2001, it would not be all cars, just particular VIN numbers she explained it as if there is a recall of lettuce, they always say a particular batch number, not every item made in that year. My car is 2000. Thank you again for your help.
