What's wrong?
In Porsche recall 20V077, the part at issue is the fuel pump service cover on 2015-2018 Macan SUVs. The fuel pump moves gasoline from the tank toward the engine, and the filter flange and flow nozzle help route that fuel through the pump assembly. The service cover sits over that area and needs enough clearance from the nozzle.
On affected Macans, the service cover can contact the flow nozzle under high load. Over time, that contact puts stress on the nozzle in the filter flange. If cracks form, fuel can leak from the pump area instead of staying sealed inside the system.
The warning sign is fuel odor. If you smell gasoline around the vehicle, treat it as a sign that the fuel pump area needs dealer inspection.
Who's affected?
The scope spans four Macan model years, all tied to the same fuel pump component.

What's the safety risk?
Fuel leaking near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. A fuel odor is the warning sign owners are expected to notice, so treat any gasoline smell as a reason to stop using the vehicle and contact a Porsche dealer for repair guidance. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
