Porsche recalls GT3 for fire risk

Porsche is telling 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars until the company can check them out for engine problems that could cause a fire. Porsche says it will pick the vehicles up and take them to a Porsche Center immediately, and that safety is its immediate concern.

Two vehicles in Europe caught fire after engine damage occurred, so Porsche decided to inspect all 785 vehicles delivered worldwide.

So far, there have been no accidents due to the problem and no injuries. Studies to determine the cause of the fires have not yet been completed. Porsche spokesman Nick Twork told ABC News that it was the oil that caught fire in both cars.

The 911 GT3 gets a 3.8-liter flat-six making 469 hp. It also gets 20-inch center-locking wheels, adjustable carbon fiber wing and a three-part front splitter. The GT3 starts at $131,395, including destination.

Porsche owners can call its customer service line at (800) 767-7243 for more information.
