Porsche is recalling 2015-2017 Macan models because a fuel pump flange may crack, causing a fuel leak that increases fire risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fuel system defect that creates a fire risk, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects involving fire hazards.

Plain-English summary

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2015-2017 Macan S and Macan Turbo vehicles, as well as 2017 Macan, Macan Turbo with the Performance Package, and Macan GTS vehicles. The recall involves approximately 51,497 vehicles.

The fuel pump flange on these vehicles may crack, which allows fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the flanges, replacing any that are cracked. Flanges that are not cracked will have a protective film applied. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on July 19, 2017. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
