Defect Summary:
Certain sport utility vehicles may have had a transfer case installed that could, due to changes in the housing casting, result in the oil pump rotation. Should this occur, oil starvation of the internal gears might result. Continued operation of the vehicle could result in a fracture of the transfer case housing.
Consequence Summary:
Incorrect torque would then be applied to the driven wheels or oil could leak and contact the tires.
Corrective Summary:
Dealers will inspect the transfer case housing and, if necessary, replace the transfer case. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
