2003 - 2006 Cayenne Recall
Go to the NHTSA website and see if your vehicle's VIN is covered by the recall. It probably is. Here's what came up for mine:
Sep 27,2017
Manufacturer Recall NumberAH10
NHTSA Recall Number17V-576
Recall Status Recall Incomplete
Summary Fine hairline cracks can appear, after an extended period of use, on the filter flange of the fuel pump of the affected vehicles.
Safety Risk External aging exposure and oxidization reduces the component strength over an extended vehicle life. Additionally, fuel components intrude into the fuel filter flange material under pressure from the inside and cause tension within the component Porsche believes that the combination of both may, over time, eventually lead to the formation of small cracks, allowing fuel to seep from the fuel filter flange. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may cause a risk of fire
Remedy Vehicles affected by this action will be recalled to the workshop to have filter flanges exchanged with newer filter flanges and a protective film will be fitted to the parts.
