2015 Porsche 918 Spyder recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 918 Spyder vehicles manufactured February 25, 2014, to April 29, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the wiring harness for the left rear radiator fan may contact an engine heat insulation plate.

💥 The risk

If the harness contacts the insulation plate, the harness may chafe and result in an electrical short which could increase the risk of a fire.

🔧 The fix

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness and secure it to a coolant tube using a tie-wrap clip, free of charge. The recall began on July 13, 2015. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porche's number for this recall is AF05. Note: The wiring harness could short and result in a fire even when the vehicle is unattended. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made.

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.)
