Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (PRNewsFoto/Porsche Cars North America, Inc.)
(Bloomberg) — Porsche is recalling about 13,500 vehicles worldwide to fix a seal that may allow fuel to evaporate.

Porsche is servicing Cayenne sport-utility vehicles and Panamera sedans equipped with a 3-liter V6 engine, the Stuttgart, Germany-based unit of Volkswagen AG said today in an e-mail. The program affects hybrid and standard-power models built from March 2011 until May 2012.

Industrywide recalls in the U.S. last year exceeded 60 million vehicles, a record, and public attention on safety defects may raise that figure in 2015, U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator Mark Rosekind said early this month. Chinese officials are stepping up protection measures for consumers as Volkswagen and competitors seek to expand sales in the world’s largest auto market.
