What's wrong?
The low-pressure fuel line on the 2015-2016 Porsche Macan S and Macan Turbo runs through the engine compartment and carries gasoline to the engine before it is burned. It is part of the fuel delivery system, so it has to stay sealed while the engine is running and heat builds under the hood.
On affected SUVs, the material in that line was not suited for long-term use in this location. Over time, the line can deteriorate and form very small leaks. Porsche traced the issue to fuel odor complaints and found that the low-pressure line was allowing gasoline vapor or fuel to escape. The updated repair part uses stronger material and optimized clamps to hold the line securely.
The warning sign is a noticeable fuel smell. If you smell gasoline near the vehicle or from the engine area, treat it as a sign that the fuel line needs dealer inspection.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician installs an improved low pressure fuel line in the engine compartment. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because every included vehicle is still covered under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
