ALA2 Delivery Stop/Recall Campaign – Reworking/replacing service cover of fuel pump

Vehicle type: Macan/Macan S/Macan GTS/Macan Turbo
Model Year: As of 2014 up to 2019
Subject: Service cover of fuel pump
Situation: Due to unfavourable tolerances and exertion of an external force, there is a possibility that contact could occur between the underside of the service cover and the fuel supply port at the filter flange of the fuel pump on the affected vehicles.

If the above-mentioned conditions occur and if an external force is applied (e.g. through use of the rear seat system), the fuel supply port can become damaged over the service life of the vehicle resulting in a fuel leak. In such cases, customers could perceive the odour of fuel.

Remedial action:
  • Remove the service cover of the fuel pump. Depending on the parts availability of the service cover, either rework the service cover or replace the service cover to avoid possible contact between the underside of the service cover and the fuel supply port.
  • Before fitting the service cover again, check the fuel supply port at the filter flange of the fuel pump for damage (cracks):

– If the fuel supply port is damaged: replace the filter flange of the fuel pump and affix a protective film to the replacement piece.

– If the fuel supply port is not damaged: check whether a protective film is already affixed to the filter flange of the fuel pump. If there is no protective film, affix it later.

Affected Vehicles: Only vehicles assigned to the campaign (see also PCSS Vehicle Information).

What will Porsche do?

In addition, the fuel pump flange will be inspected and replaced if cracks are present. These repairs will be covered free of charge.

 

What should you do?

Please contact any authorized Porsche dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed as soon as possible and to arrange for alternate transportation during the repair period, if needed.
