Porsche Recalls 2015-2018 Macan Vehicles for Fuel Pump Leak Risk

Porsche is recalling 2015-2018 Macan vehicles because the fuel pump service cover may crack and cause a fuel leak, increasing fire risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel pump flange) that poses a significant risk of fire due to fuel leakage, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2015-2018 Macan vehicles. The recall involves approximately 70,117 vehicles.

The fuel pump service cover may contact the flow nozzle on the filter flange of the fuel pump. This contact can potentially cause cracks in the component, leading to a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire.

Porsche will rework or replace the fuel pump flange and apply a protective film. Additionally, the fuel pump flange will be inspected and replaced if cracks are present. The recall began on April 10, 2020. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
