DETROIT (AP) — Porsche is recalling more than 1,200 of its
911 Carrera S sports cars because a fuel line can come loose and cause a
fire.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on
its website Saturday that the line can come apart at a connection and
leak fuel. The agency says that could cause loss of power and a crash,
or it could cause a fire.
Porsche says it doesn’t know of any fires or accidents.
The 2012 cars have a starting price of more than $96,000.
Porsche
says the problem happens because a coolant pipe can touch a connection
on the fuel line and loosen it. Dealers will either replace the fuel
line or make sure the connections are tight. They’ll also install a
spacer to keep the lines apart.
