In case this involves anyone's car...

Seems like a small number of cars involved.

Well that was a pretty worthless report. It gives no clue what 1200 cars are recalled.

Maybe some interweb created BS story by P-car haters?

Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—March 24, 2012.
Summary: Porsche is recalling certain model year 2012 911 Carrera S vehicles manufactured from October 26, 2011, through January 24, 2012. Interference between a coolant line and a fuel line may cause the fuel line to become disconnected at the quick connector.

Consequence: If the fuel line becomes disconnected, a fuel leak may occur. A fuel leak could lead to the engine misfiring or stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with a new fuel line, free of charge. The Safety Recall is expected to begin in April 2012. Owners may contact Porsche at 800-767-7243.

Notes: Porsche’s Safety Recall number is AC02. Customers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY: 800-424-9153); or go tohttp://www.safercar.gov.

I believe this "recall" is for 991s.

That is a small number, but I doubt they have finished that many 991's to this point. Heck it could be all of them for that matter.

The risk of a possible $-multi-million lawsuit from a fire is enough to compel Porsche to issue a recall and implement a fix. Risk of a $-multi-million judgment from a class-action suit from people who've suffered IMS failure, isn't sufficient. Obviously Porsche's legal department knows something we don't.
