What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
There is a fuel line above the engine that is leaking fuel onto the top of the engine and running down to the exhaust components. Car is giving off a very strong gas smell. Brought it to Porsche Jacksonville and they are replacing the fuel line above the engine. They have to pull the engine to do so. No warning messages at all, just a strong gas smell. You can pull the rear engine cover and look into the engine bay and find the fuel on top of the engine, or brownish discoloring from fuel.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
