NHTSA Complaint #10661989 — 1986 PORSCHE 944

VEHICLE CAME IN FOR SMOG TEST AND FOUND FUEL LINE DRIPPING FUEL AT FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR SIDE OF LINE. CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL LINE FOR THE EXACT ISSUE THAT WE ARE HAVING. INSPECTED FUEL LINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A KINK AT THE END OF THE LINE AS STATED AS THE DEFECT IN THE RECALL. CALLED THE PORSCHE DEALER LOCALLY AND THEY STATED THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED, AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THE DEFECT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE. EITHER THE REPLACED LINE HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE PRE RECALL LINE OR THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED AS STATED BY THE DEALER(ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LINE IS CURRENTLY KINKED AND THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE KINKING FUEL LINE). *JS
