- Summary
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. It is possible that the fuel supply line could leak due to chaffing with the intake manifold and/or the fuel return line could leak due to chaffing with a spring band clamp used to secure a coolant line.
- Consequence
- The leaking fuel could come into contact with the exhaust system, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a protective sheath on the fuel supply line. In addition, for vehicles produced between April 7 and may 22, 2000, the spring band clamp will be replaced with a screw type hose clamp and installed in such a way that it cannot come into contact with the fuel return line. Owner notification began February 1, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
- Notes
- Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Porsche been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Porsche dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
