Fuel/Propulsion System

Filed Nov 4, 2025FL

There is a fuel line above the engine that is leaking fuel onto the top of the engine and running down to the exhaust components. Car is giving off a very strong gas smell. Brought it to Porsche Jacksonville and they are replacing the fuel line above the engine. They have to pull the engine to do so. No warning messages at all, just a strong gas smell. You can pull the rear engine cover and look into the engine bay and find the fuel on top of the engine, or brownish discoloring from fuel.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
