NHTSA Safety Recalls:
Important: The following recalls were issued for the 2003 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). To find out if a specific 2003 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO still has open recalls that require repair, CARFAX recommends contacting an authorized dealership for more information.

Recall date: 03-29-2004
Units potentially affected: 35
NHTSA campaign number: 04V068000
Defective part or component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
Description: On certain sport utility vehicles, if the ground connection between the spiral ring of the tank filler neck and the connecting pipe to the fuel tank is inadequate, the flow of fuel during refueling can create an electrostatic charge, which could discharge and spark. This spark could ignite fuel vapors in the area outside the tank filler neck that could lead to a muffled detonation. Due to such a startling event, the individual refueling the vehicle could remove the fuel nozzle at precisely the moment of the detonation without first stopping the fueling process. In such a circumstance, fuel escaping outside of the fuel tank may ignite, resulting in a fire. Dealers will inspect the ground connection and, if necessary, correct it. Owner notification began on March 29, 2004. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 10,637
NHTSA campaign number: 04V069000
Defective part or component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
Description: On certain sport utility vehicles, the main wiring harness was incorrectly routed. Damage to the main wiring harness can lead to the failure of various electrical systems. This can lead, in extreme cases, to a cable fire beneath the instrument panel in the passenger compartment. Dealers will re-route the wiring harness. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
Recall date: 03-29-2004
Units potentially affected: 4,144
NHTSA campaign number: 04V072000
Defective part or component: SEATS
Description: On certain sport utility vehicles, the driver's side seat frames were not adequately welded. In the event of a crash, the seat frame could break, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the driver's side seat frame. Owner notification began on March 29, 2004. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected:
NHTSA campaign number: 04V593000
Defective part or component: SEAT BELTS
Description: Certain passenger cars fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, (Occupant Crash Protection). All three rear seat positions and the front passenger position are equipped with seat belt retractors that have a locking feature which converts the retractor from an emergency locking retractor (ELR) mode to an automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode for the purposes of child restraint installation. The belt may deactivate the alr mode with certain child restraints. When involved in a crash, the child restraints may not be properly secured increasing the risk of injury or death to the seat occupant. The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy or owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
