1985 PORSCHE 928 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1985 Porsche 928 has two recalls, both rated equally serious: one where a faulty weld on the engine carrier bracket can break and lock the steering, and one where a misfiring engine can overheat the catalytic converter and ignite nearby fluids, causing an underbody fire. The steering concern involves the bracket that mounts the engine to the chassis. If the weld fails, the engine carrier can crack and physically block steering movement, leaving the driver unable to steer. The fire risk involves an inadequate heat shield above the catalytic converter. If the engine misfires and the converter overheats, automatic transmission fluid lines running nearby can catch fire beneath the vehicle.
