Stuttgart. Porsche has issued a global recall for 918 Spyder* models that have already been delivered. This precautionary recall for a service inspection affects 76 vehicles in Germany. This is because the electric wiring harness for the radiator fan in vehicles manufactured up until the end of April 2015 could be damaged by a carbon-fiber component. The wiring harness will be examined and optimally remounted in the work shop.
The cause was identified following a detailed examination of inquiries. Corrective measures have subsequently been taken in manufacturing. The owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted directly by their Porsche contact partner. The service visit, which will be free of charge, will be arranged as quickly as possible and the inspection will likely require the vehicle to be left in the shop for half a day.
* Porsche 918 Spyder: Fuel consumption (combined) 3.1-3.0 l/100 km; electrical consumption (combined) 12.7 kWh/100km; CO2 emissions 72-70 g/km; efficiency class: A+
