REMINDER: Hundreds of Porsche Cayenne SUVs could catch fire, prompting call to park safely

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid coupe is in a new recall.

Porsche Australia has recalled 244 Cayenne large SUVs that pose a fire hazard.

The recall applies to the Cayenne MY19-MY20 Turbo Estate, MY20 Turbo Coupe, MY20 Turbo S E-Hybrid Estate and MY20 Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe sold between November 29, 2017 and December 5, 2019 due to very high engine temperatures.

This potential problem is caused by a weak component in the "quick connector" in the fuel line.

If a fuel leak occurs near a source of ignition, it can start a fire and therefore increase the risk of serious injury to passengers and other road users, as well as damage to property.

Porsche Australia will contact affected owners by mail and offer to order their vehicle from their preferred dealership for a free repair.

However, service technicians will not be able to complete the job until replacement parts become available at the end of next month.

In the meantime, if affected owners see or feel fuel leaking from their vehicle, Porsche Australia says they should park it safely and contact their preferred dealership immediately.

Those seeking further information can visit the Porsche Australia website or contact their preferred dealership during business hours.

A full list of Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved can be found on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's ACCC Product Safety Australia website.
