What's wrong?
The fuel pump flange on the 2015-2017 Porsche Macan S, Macan Turbo, Macan, and Macan GTS is a sealed connection point in the fuel delivery system. It helps move gasoline from the tank into the fuel system while keeping fuel contained. That seal matters because the part sits under pressure and is exposed to fuel and outside aging conditions over the vehicle's life.
On affected vehicles, external aging exposure and oxidation reduce the flange's strength. Fuel components also press into the flange material from the inside, creating tension in the part. Porsche found that this combination can form small cracks in the flange, and those cracks let fuel seep out.
The warning sign is fuel odor. If you notice a gasoline smell near the vehicle, after parking, or around the rear of the SUV, treat that as the sign that fuel is escaping from the flange area.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician inspects the fuel pump flanges. Any cracked flange is replaced, and any flange without cracks gets a protective film. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Porsche uses its standard reimbursement plan for owners who already paid for the same repair before the recall work was completed. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk so Porsche can review the documented expense.
