Porsche Recalling 1,200 911 Carrera S Models Over Possible Fuel Leak

Porsche is recalling more than 1,200 of its 911 Carrera S sports cars because a fuel line can come loose and cause a fire.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website Saturday that the line can come apart at a connection and leak fuel. The agency says that could cause loss of power and a crash, or it could cause a fire.Porsche says it doesn’t know of any fires or accidents.

Porsche says the problem happens because a coolant pipe can touch a connection on the fuel line and loosen it. Dealers will either replace the fuel line or make sure the connections are tight. They’ll also install a spacer to keep the lines apart. The recall involves model year 2012 911 Carrera S vehicles manufactured from October 26, 2011, through January 24, 2012.
