The 2017 Porsche Macan S has 6 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump flange that can crack and leak fuel, raising the risk of a fire if the fuel contacts an ignition source.
On the occupant safety side, the front passenger seat sensor mat can degrade over time and fail to detect a passenger, which means the airbag may not deploy in a crash. The lower seat belt anchor on the outboard rear seats may not have been properly tightened, allowing it to pull free in a crash. Vehicles fitted with the optional ski bag have a separate concern: the fastening strap may have been sewn with the wrong thread, causing the seams to tear in a crash and turning the bag into a loose projectile inside the cabin. Rounding out the list, the headlights on certain vehicles may be misadjusted, either failing to illuminate the road ahead adequately or directing glare toward oncoming traffic.
