Porsche Cars recall: The fasteners securing the high pressure fuel pump may not be tightened

Recall published 1+ years ago

The fasteners securing the high pressure fuel pump may not be tightened properly, resulting in a fuel leak.

The hazard: Fuel leak or fire risk

This campaign concerns a fire or fuel-leak risk, the one vehicle hazard that can harm you while nobody is driving the car.

What the notice says: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Why it matters: The vehicle may leak fuel, or a component may overheat enough to start a fire. Several of these campaigns involve a fire risk while the vehicle is parked and switched off, which is why the parking instructions matter.

What to do about Fuel / fire

Porsche Cars — This campaign concerns a fire or fuel-leak risk, the one vehicle hazard that can harm you while nobody is driving the car.

  1. Read the risk note above carefully. If it says to park outdoors and away from buildings, do that tonight — the fire can start with the engine off and the key indoors.
  2. If you smell fuel, see a leak under the car or notice smoke or a burning smell, stop driving it and have it towed.
  3. Park away from the house, the garage and other vehicles until the repair is finished, and do not leave it charging unattended if it is electric.
  4. Keep the repair order the dealer hands you. It is your proof the campaign was closed out, and it matters at resale.

Costs, reimbursement and your rights

The repair itself is free. What people most often miss is that money already spent can frequently be claimed back.

  • If you paid for the same repair out of pocket before the recall was announced, ask the manufacturer for reimbursement. Carmakers must run a reimbursement plan for pre-notification repairs; you will need the original invoice.
  • If a dealer refuses the repair, delays it unreasonably or tries to bill you, complain to the manufacturer’s customer line, then to NHTSA. Those complaints are logged against the campaign.
  • An unrepaired open recall can affect a sale or trade-in. Closing it out costs nothing and protects the value of the vehicle.
  • Towing is normally covered where the vehicle is unsafe to drive, and loaner cars or rental reimbursement are often available on long parts delays. Neither is usually offered unless you ask.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will inspect and tighten the screw connections and replace the high pressure fuel pump and fuel lines as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 19, 2025. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ASA9. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 10, 2025.
