General Information
This is to notify you of a voluntary Recall Campaign involving 53,427 Porsche 924S, 944, 944 Turbo and 944S, of various model years from 1985 thru
1988, within the VIN ranges:
It was determined that due to hardening of the material of a fuel line hose between the fuel rail and the pressure regulator, fuel leaks can develop between
the hose and metal pipe fittings. The leaking fuel may ignite on the hot exhaust system and create an engine compartment fire.

If a vehicle within the Recall VIN ranges is in your dealership for service/repair or in dealer inventory and/or demo use, the Recall Campaign should be
performed without delay.
