What is wrong
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 918 Spyder vehicles manufactured February 25, 2014, to April 29, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the wiring harness for the left rear radiator fan may contact an engine heat insulation plate.

If the harness contacts the insulation plate, the harness may chafe and result in an electrical short which could increase the risk of a fire.

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness and secure it to a coolant tube using a tie-wrap clip, free of charge. The recall began on July 13, 2015. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-[removed]. Porche's number for this recall is AF05. Note: The wiring harness could short and result in a fire even when the vehicle is unattended.
