Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Fuel/propulsion system

6 reports
“Strong fuel smell in rear of vehicle, Upon further inspection, it was discovered that a hard fuel line connection was leaking from a fitting on top of a very hot engine and very close to a very hot manifold. Leak was very pronounced and there was strong evidence that this leak and been dropping for some time. (staining of engine) Vehicle was brought in to dealer service for in fact confirmation of leak. There were no warning lights or CEL's whatsoever. Only a strong fuel smell in rear of vehicle. My felling is this could have been a disaster for anyone operating the vehicle or a passenger, had the dripping fuel ignited on the hot engine. Absolutely worst place to put a fuel line connection.”
Owner complaint to NHTSAFiled Jul 13, 2026Fuel/propulsion systemODI 11750011

Exterior lighting

1 report
“Rear Tailight internal stress cracks causing condensation moisture and dust buildup. Dealer says this is normal, vehicle is only 2 years old, 20k miles and under warranty. Seems like there is a seal issue with the moisture and dust due to the internal cracks of the taillights. I've read on Rennlist and seen on YouTube that this is occurring for others as well that own 992 911's. The taillights were inspected by two dealers, one said it was normal but did not mention cracks, another dealer confirmed it was due to "stress cracks" inside the taillights but that this is normal. The manufacturer (Porsche North America) was contacted and responded that since 2 dealers could not find an issue a replacement was not warranted. I've had numerous other faults with the vehicle in 2 years of ownership, also having to replace the front windshield due to delamination of the windshield seals but I was not included in the recall that affected other owners with the same issue.”
