991 Recall
Found this in the LA times:
Porsche will recall 2012 model year 911 Carrera S sports cars because the fuel line might come apart.
The recall involves 1,232 of the cars, which each sell for about $100,000.
The problem results from what Porsche called an “assembly error” that can cause a coolant line to knock into and release a locking mechanism on the fuel line.
“The customer may detect the odor of fuel or notice a fuel leak. This can result in engine misfiring, or cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source also could result in a fire, though no fires have occurred,” Porsche said.
Apparently this was announced yesterday. Anyone know more about this?

The LA Times is coming late to this party. - See the string on this BB entitled Porsche recalling 1,200 sports cars for fuel leaks ( 1 2)
That thread includes a copy of the actual recall announcement. If memory serves, it only applies to cars made
before February - and the fix is simple.
