⚠️ What's wrong

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. Owners may contact porsche at 1-800-767-7243.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
