What this recall means for you
A low pressure fuel line in the engine compartment may develop a leak. Fuel escaping from the line can reach a source of ignition, which increases the risk of a fire.
The repair is free. Dealers will install an improved low pressure fuel line at no charge once parts become available. Parts are not yet available, so the remedy cannot be performed right now. Owners received an interim notice by mail on November 9, 2015, and a second notice will be mailed when parts are ready.
If you own an affected vehicle, contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 (Porsche recall number AF06) and check your VIN for open recalls. Until the repair is done, watch for the smell of fuel or any signs of a leak, and have the vehicle inspected promptly if you notice either.
