“I went on a test drive on this car and the car caught fire from the engine. I noticed after the fact that there was a recall on the vehicle for fuel pump malfunction that can cause fire. I've contacted Porsche about 15 times and they wont return my call at all. I also stared a case with them and they wont answer back. The vehicle is completely burnt. Need assistance.”
NHTSA complaint #11407094, filed 2021-04, 47,220 miles“I am submitting this complaint regarding a known safety issue affecting my vehicle. I own a 2017 Porsche [2017 Macan GTS ], and I recently discovered that the fuel pump flange on my car has developed cracks, causing a noticeable fuel odor and potential fuel leakage. This component matches the description of the part listed under NHTSA Recall No. 17V-289 (Porsche Campaign AH06), which addresses the same defect. …”
NHTSA complaint #11698028, filed 2025-11“My vehicle is currently leaking raw gasoline and active smoke is coming out from the fuel pump assembly directly beneath the rear passenger seat. This is the exact, identical catastrophic failure mechanism outlined in federal safety recalls NHTSA Campaign 20V077000 (Recall ALA2) and 17V-289 (Recall AH06).My vehicle is completely undrivable and constitutes an immediate fire hazard. While a local dealer stated my specific VIN is not currently showing on their active recall database, this is an identical manifestation of the fuel filter flange cracking defect. …”
NHTSA complaint #11764383, filed 2026-09“The fuel flange failed causing gas to leak from the vehicle and subsequent fumes from the gasoline leaking. The part was recalled by Porsche and repaired, however Porsche was not able to tell me when the repair was done, what was done nor where it was done. I paid out of pocket for the same failure to be fixed, meaning their previous covered repair either was never completed, or Porsche's solution was put a band-aid on the problem instead of a complete fix. Keep in mind, the car was parked in my garage that filled with the stench of gas (which explodes in high pressure or a spark). …”
NHTSA complaint #11604247, filed 2024-07“Fuel smell filling the cabin due to cracked fuel pump. Likely associated with fuel pump cover recall notice (recall code AH06) Dealerships refused coverage.”
