Porsche Fuel Rail Recall 90V061000 (53K Vehicles)

The problem

The hose material used in the short section of the high pressure fuel line hose, between the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator, is subject to hardening, and could cause fuel leaks between the hose and the metal pipe fittings.

The risk

Fuel leaks could ignite on the hot exhaust system, or any other source of ignition, resulting in an engine compartment fire.

The fix

Replace fuel line hose with hoses made of improved material.
