The 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate fuel leak risks: a cracked fuel pump flange and a leaking low-pressure fuel line in the engine compartment, either of which can start a fire if fuel contacts an ignition source.
Both remaining recalls involve the front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat, which can degrade and stop detecting whether a passenger is seated. When the sensor fails, the vehicle deactivates the front passenger airbag, meaning it will not deploy in a crash and the occupant loses that layer of protection. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue across all affected vehicles, which is why two separate recall campaigns address it.
