2008 Porsche CAYENNE S Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1441514
Internal NHTSA #	11064243
Manufacurer	Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
Brand	PORSCHE
Model	CAYENNE S
Model Year	2008
File date	22/01/18
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Coolant distributor bolted to the back of engine block has a glued -in pipe that connects to a hose. The glued-in pipe is leaking and half way pushed out of the distributor. The imminent failure of this part could have caused immediate overheat and fire due to catastrophic coolant system failure. The repair is extremely expensive. Porsche has a new part that has the pipe threaded in instead of glued. Porsche should recall this and pay for the repair. This is an obvious design flaw and safety issue. Imagine 8 gallons of hot coolant discharging all over, say a motorcyclist going 70 mph. This issue was noticed while doing other coolant system maintenance that was also necessitated by poor design of the vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
