What's wrong?
The fuel pump flange on affected gasoline-powered 2003-2006 Porsche Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne SUVs is part of the fuel delivery system. It helps seal the fuel pump and filter area so gasoline stays inside the tank while the pump sends fuel forward to the engine.
On affected SUVs, age, external exposure, and oxidization reduce the strength of the flange material. Fuel under pressure also pushes into the flange material from the inside, creating stress in the part. Over an extended vehicle life, that combination forms small cracks in the flange. Once the flange cracks, fuel seeps out instead of staying contained in the fuel system.
Owners will notice fuel odor before the part fails. Treat a gasoline smell around the vehicle as the warning sign and have the recall checked before driving more than needed.

What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. Fuel odor is the warning sign, so treat any gasoline smell as a reason to stop driving, park safely, and call a Porsche dealer before continuing. Repair will be free at any franchised Porsche dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2003-2006 Porsche Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, or Cayenne is included in this recall.
- Review Porsche's owner letter, mailed July 6, 2018, or contact Porsche customer service if you never received it.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free fuel-filter-flange replacement that helps stop fuel leaks at the fuel pump flange.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 17V576 (Porsche recall AH10) when you call.
- Keep the vehicle away from ignition sources if you smell fuel, see a fuel leak, or suspect fuel around the pump area.
What happens at the repair
When the dealer remedy is open, a Porsche technician replaces the fuel filter flanges with new flanges that include protective film. The repair addresses fuel leakage at the flange area on affected 2003-2006 Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne vehicles. Parts and labor are covered by the recall once the repair is available. Porsche states that customer reimbursement is not being offered for this campaign, so prior out of pocket repairs are not handled through a separate reimbursement program.
