What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (vehicle stalling leading to crash risk) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Cayenne, Cayenne GTS, Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, S Hybrid, Turbo, and Turbo S vehicles manufactured between May 27, 2013, and July 10, 2013. The recall involves 207 vehicles.

The instrument cluster in these vehicles may display a calculated range of remaining fuel and a fuel level that are higher than the actual amount in the tank. These display inaccuracies may cause the vehicle to unexpectedly run out of fuel and stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
