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.  However, when I contacted Porsche and checked my VIN, I was informed that my vehicle is not included in the recall, despite exhibiting the exact failure described in the recall documentation. This situation raises serious safety concerns, as fuel leaks pose a significant fire hazard.  I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate why vehicles experiencing the same defect are being excluded from the recall and ensure Porsche extends coverage to all affected vehicles. I am happy to provide photos, repair invoices, and inspection reports upon request.  Thank you for your attention to this important safety matter.     Recall Overview  The recall campaign is identified as NHTSA Campaign No. 17V-289 (also known internally by Porsche as AH06). NHTSA +2 RepairPal.com +2  Affected vehicles: 2015-2017 Macan S and Macan Turbo, and 2017 Macan, Macan Turbo (with Performance Package), and Macan GTS. Asbury Auto +2 NHTSA +2  Issue: The fuel-pump filter-flange may develop fine hairline cracks due to aging/oxidation and internal pressure, which can allow fuel seepage. Fuel leakage in presence of an ignition source increases fire risk. NHTSA +1  Remedy: Dealers will inspect the flange. If cracked, it will be replaced. If not cracked, a protective film will be applied to the flange to prevent external damage. This work is free of charge.

In this case, the rear water drains are routed directly over fuses and other electronic components within the vehicle. One of the electronic components affected, a Park Assist Control Unit (part 95B 919 475 L), controls multiple vehicle safety functions including perimeter sensors and the backup camera. When this unit fails, the backup camera is blank and perimeter sensors that beep to notify the driver of potentially hidden objects (or people) close to the vehicle do not function. Such failure may jeopardize the overall safety of vehicle occupants and other road users and may affect safe operation of the vehicle.  This Park Assist Control Unit has failed in my Porsche Macan on three separate occasions due to corrosion of the terminals. The Porsche Orland Park (Illinois) dealership where I took my vehicle for repair stated that the corrosion was due to leakage from the sunroof drain onto the unit.   After the third failure of this unit due to corrosion, I contacted Porsche North America customer support. I was told that the corrosion of the terminals and subsequent failure of the Park Assist Control Unit was due to clogging of the sunroof water drain, causing \u201cpooling and draining to places where it can cause damage.\u201d  Although other electronic components directly adjacent to this Unit have never had similar corrosion, there has never been evidence of water leakage inside the vehicle, and I regularly test the drains and have found no sign of blockages, I accepted Porsche North America\u2019s explanation. They stated that \u201cpark[ing] a vehicle outside\u201d or \u201cdriv[ing] where there are many trees\u201d may exacerbate the issue.  Unfortunately, subsequent concerns I raised regarding the tendency for these drains to clog at any time and Porsche\u2019s decision to route a water drain in such close proximity to electronic vehicle safety systems were ignored.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"PORSCHE","productModel":"MACAN","manufacturer":"Porsche Cars North America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11544727,"manufacturer":"Porsche Cars North America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/01/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"09/15/2023","vin":"WP1AB2A58HL","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"It was noted there is fogging, spiderweb type cracks, and discoloration on the inside of each headlight lens.
