Porsche has issued a global product recall for a service shop inspection of 47 918 Spyder models already delivered in the UK.

The recall is because the electric wiring harness for the radiator fan (in vehicles manufactured until the end of April 2015) could be damaged by a carbon-fibre component.

The wiring harness will be examined and re-mounted in the workshop.

The cause was identified following a detailed examination of complaints. Corrective measures have been taken in manufacturing.

The owners of the affected vehicles are being contacted directly by their Porsche contact partner. The workshop visit will be arranged as soon as possible and will be free of charge – the vehicle will need to be in the workshop for half a day.
