The defect

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.

The risk

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.
