A recent recall affected just 85 cars across numerous model lines. A new voluntary safety recall was just announced, this time affecting 16,429 vehicles globally.

This latest recall from Porsche concerns the screws which affix the fuel collection pipes. The screws used on the affected cars may come loose. Porsche is providing newly designed screws to alleviate the issue as a precaution. Affected vehicles include the 911 Carrera, along with the 718 Boxster and Cayman.
