What's wrong?
The fuel line on the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S carries gasoline from the tank and pump system to the engine. A quick connector is the snap-fit coupling that locks the line to the rest of the fuel system, so fuel stays contained while the engine is running.
On affected cars, a coolant line sits close enough to the fuel line to interfere with it. That contact puts pressure on the fuel line at the quick connector. If the connector releases, the fuel line becomes disconnected instead of staying locked in place.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the line disconnects while the engine is running, the car can lose fuel delivery and gasoline can escape near the engine.
