All -

Well that was certainly the result after an engine fire due to battery acid corroded OE cloth-covered fuel lines, but I doubt that was what Porsche had in mind! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm adding the recall info below, because it's important to all members & all vehicle owners, regarding recalls - but first....

As Jeff said, it's the "HO Recall" required by NHTSA for all 70-76 914s, & if yours was never done, then Porsche/PCNA is still required to do them today.

In fact, this is the case for any open recall on any car make & model no matter how old, if never done & documented. That's the USA Federal Law, & I'd imagine it's the same in other countries too.

Just contact PCNA. They'll probably ask you to bring it to a dealer - or send someone out if not running, in order to verify that it was never done.

I know this for a fact, because I went through the process on my own 73 914-2.0, & have my letter from PCNA to contact them & bring it in to a local dealer to have it done, whenever I have it running & registered again, since the PCNA District Manager already came out to my house to verify it.

This is VERY important for ALL of you folks cars - so don't let the local dealership BS you, they do have to do all recall work if never done, but you may have to go to the car manufacturer &/or NHTSA to push the issue through.

So check all of your cars for open recalls - the newer ones with the later VIN code format (1980's started) can be done with the NHTSA Recall Look-up using your VIN. For older vehicles with the older you'll have to send an email or postal inquiry to NHTSA, then follow-up with the dealer(s) &/or manufacturer(s) to get them set-up & done.

Jeff's website lists the 914 ones -
