Porsche has issued a precautionary recall on its petrol Macan S and Macan Turbo due to a possible fuel line leak with 1,198 vehicles affected.

Porsche said there could be a possible leak in the low-pressure fuel line inside the engine compartment. The line will be replaced in a Porsche workshop and it is “purely a precautionary measure”.

In a statement Porsche said: “The problem was identified after a precise examination of complaints and then immediately rectified in ongoing production.

“Owners of the vehicles will be contacted directly by their responsible Porsche dealers. Workshop appointments will be arranged as quickly as possible. The work will take roughly one hour and will be carried out free of charge.”
