Fuel leak and fire risk

In the event of a crash, a crossmember may detach from the luggage compartment bracket, possibly causing a fuel leak.

NHTSA campaign 19V113000 includes certain 2017 to 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster vehicles. Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2017-2019 718 Boxster, 718 Boxster S, 718 Cayman and 718 Cayman S vehicles and 2018-2019 718 Boxster GTS and 2018-2019 718 Cayman GTS vehicles. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of fire.

Symptoms to compare
  • A fuel odour, visible leak or warning light may be present, although some vehicles show no warning
  • An open campaign appears when the complete VIN is checked
  • Some recalled vehicles may show no advance warning before the component fails

Other ways owners describe it: car smells like gas; fuel leaking under car; strong petrol smell; gas smell after parking; fuel line recall; car could catch fire.

Which vehicles the source covers
  • 2017 to 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster
  • NHTSA campaign 19V113000
  • The manufacturer filing lists 14,388 potentially affected units across the complete campaign.
  • VIN eligibility determines whether this recall applies to an individual vehicle

Safety recall eligibility is based on the VIN and campaign scope, not ordinary warranty mileage. Check the complete VIN even when the vehicle is outside its original warranty.

Check the complete VIN before arranging workBasic check · 5 minutes

Evidence for this issue

Confirm who pays before authorizing work

A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

Keep a current problem separate from future coverage

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.

Prepare a useful description for the mechanic →

Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.

EPA configuration matchNo confirmed match

An unmatched specification is an information gap. Do not borrow an engine or drivetrain from another year.

Documented repair pathsCheck the source
