The 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate fuel leak risks: a low-pressure fuel line in the engine compartment and a fuel pump flange that can crack, either of which can leak fuel and start a fire.
Both remaining recalls involve the front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat, which can degrade and fail to detect a passenger in the seat. When this happens, the front passenger airbag will not deploy in a crash, leaving that occupant without airbag protection.
