Details

What's wrong: Interference between a coolant line and a fuel line may cause the fuel line to become disconnected at the quick connector.

Why it matters: If the fuel line becomes disconnected, a fuel leak may occur. A fuel leak could lead to the engine misfiring or stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with a new fuel line, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 26, 2012.
