There is a significant smell of gasoline inside the cabin of the vehicle. There was a recall on the same make, model, and year for fuel pump filter flange leaks, which are indicative of a strong smell of gas inside the car. This can potentially cause the car to start on fire. The dealer stated due to the VIN, the vehicle was not covered under the existing recall.

I received a recall letter in November of 2017 NHTSA campaign number: 17V576000. Fuel pump flange may crack causing fuel leak a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. My local dealer keeps telling me no parts available. I find the timeline unacceptable and I want the recall remedied immediately. We are pushing two years with no repair.

"Porsche safety recall AH10" I received a recall notification in the mail November '17 for the replacement of the filter flange fuel pump. During the time, I did not experience any changes with my vehicle, but I still called to have my vehicle repaired. I was told that the parts are not in and I would be notified when the parts were available. Within the last 3 weeks, I have smelled gas in and around my car. I am convinced this is due to my vehicle not being repaired for an extended period of time. I contacted both Porsche locations in my area (North olmsted and beachwood, Ohio) to see if there will be reimbursement of a rental car or if a loaner vehicle can be provided until the parts are in as I Transport a newborn baby in my vehicle on a day to day basis and do not want to run the risk of either of us being affected by this fuel leak. I'm afraid if the fuel leakage isn't repaired soon it may cause a fire which will be a hazard to myself, child, and other motor vehicles on the road. I am reaching out to see of there are any alternative transportation methods for those individuals who were affected by this action. Please advise.
