2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S recalls
Recall 12V-107: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: Porsche is recalling certain model year 2012 911 carrera s vehicles manufactured from october 26, 2011, through january 24, 2012. Interference between a coolant line and a fuel line may cause the fuel line to become disconnected at the quick connector.
Risk: If the fuel line becomes disconnected, a fuel leak may occur. A fuel leak could lead to the engine misfiring or stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.
Fix: 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.
