Porsche 918 Spyder Plug-In Hybrid Supercars Recalled For Fan Wiring

Porsche is recalling every 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid supercar to fix potentially faulty radiator-fan wiring.

The carmaker says the wiring harness for the radiator fans in these vehicles may have been damaged by a carbon-fiber component.

Porsche dealers will inspect the wiring harnesses--and replace them, if necessary--free of charge.

Owners should expect to leave their cars in the shop half a day, Porsche says.

The recall affects the entire global production run of 918 Spyder supercars, the last of which were built in April 2015.

Porsche has not set a date for the recall to begin, but says it will contact owners directly.

Followers of expensive green cars and the mechanical issues they sometimes present may note a similarity in circumstance to the fan issue that essentially sank the Fisker Karma.
