Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Porsche 991 911 and 981 cayman/boxster models have an issue where the foam pads securing the fuel tank degrade or fall out. The initial manifestation is a squeaking sound where the plastic tank rubs against the metal body of the car. With prolonged movement the fuel tank can be damaged and a fire could result. Porsche is aware of the issue and has an internal service bulletin to fix it but only for customers under warranty. They claim the issue is only a squeaking sound but common sense would dictate plastic rubbing on metal several times per day will wear and start leaking. …”
