What Happened
The crossmember in your 718 model is a metal beam that helps support the luggage compartment. In some cases, it could detach in a crash and cause a fuel leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the crossmember breaks loose in a collision, it could lead to a fuel leak near an ignition source, increasing the risk of a fire that could spread quickly.
Free Fix
Your Porsche dealer will add extra rivets to secure the crossmember, preventing it from detaching in a crash. This repair is completely free, and you'll be notified when it's time to schedule the fix.
