New Porsche Cayenne remains a favorite

3/3/2008, Stuttgart -- In February 2008, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, held its own in the USA and Canada in a very difficult market environment. At 1,841 vehicles, the number of deliveries to customers in North America lay eleven per cent below last year’s equivalent figures. The new Porsche Cayenne, with its lower-consumption engines, was particularly successful. Since the second Cayenne generation was launched on the market one year ago, the sporting all-terrain vehicle has enjoyed great popularity with customers.

2/18/2008, Stuttgart -- Dr. Ing. h.c. F. AG, Stuttgart, is rearranging the fuel line in the engine compartment of 18,856 vehicles of the Porsche Cayenne model worldwide. This affects vehicles which were produced between November 30, 2006 and January 18, 2008.

There is the possibility with these vehicles that the slight movements of the engine when traveling could cause a fuel line to come in contact with the engine compartment cladding. This could cause a knocking sound and abrasion markings could occur on the fuel line itself. Up to now, there have been five known complaints worldwide, but only one instance in which any abrasion markings appeared on the fuel line. In order to avoid any further problems, Porsche is going to change the layout of the fuel line in the vehicles concerned.
