Fuel Pump Flange Cracked by Its Own Service Cover — 70,117 Units, Fire Risk
The fuel pump service cover can contact the flow nozzle on the filter flange and crack it, letting fuel leak; near an ignition source that is a fire risk. Dealers rework or replace the flange and apply a protective film, replacing any flange already cracked. 70,117 units across 2015-2018 Macans. Note how NHTSA files it: the campaign's model index holds only the plain Macan string even though its own summary covers every 2015-2018 Macan, so a buyer who checks recalls under "Macan S", "Macan GTS" or "Macan Turbo" never sees the larger of this car's two fuel-leak recalls.

Fuel Pump Flange Can Crack and Leak — 51,497 Units, Same Flange Three Years Before 20V-077
The fuel pump flange may crack and leak fuel, with the fire risk that implies. Dealers replace cracked flanges and apply a protective film to the rest. 51,497 units, and unlike 20V-077 this one is indexed correctly under all four 2017 Macan strings. The pair is the point: two separate campaigns on the same component three years apart, so paperwork showing the 2017 flange recall was completed says nothing about the 2020 one.

Front Anti-Roll Bar Links Can Move Out of Position — Oversteer, 243 Units, 2017 Only
The front anti-roll bar connecting links can shift out of position, which lets the vehicle oversteer in some driving conditions and can mean a loss of control. Dealers inspect and replace the links. Only 243 vehicles campaign-wide and 2017 is the only model year in scope — this is a first-year-of-the-facelift build fault, not a Macan-wide one. The record also contradicts itself: its summary names the Macan, Macan S, Macan GTS and Macan Turbo, while its model index carries a single row for "MACAN 2017".

Passenger Occupant Sensor Mat Fails — GTS Only for 2017, 17,871 Units, FMVSS 208
The front passenger occupant detection sensor mat can fail and deactivate the passenger airbag, an FMVSS 208 noncompliance. Dealers replace the mat and the seat cushion. For the 2017 cars the scope is the GTS alone (the rest of the campaign is 2015-2016 S and Turbo), and NHTSA returns it only under the model string "Macan GTS" — a single query on "Macan" drops it entirely. If the car in front of you is a 2017 GTS, it carries two sensor-mat recalls rather than one.

The Same Sensor Mat Four Years Later — Every 2017 Macan, Including GTS Cars Already Fixed
The front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat may degrade and fail to detect a passenger, so the airbag will not deploy. Same component and same remedy as 17V-133 — replace the mat and cushion — but the scope now covers 2017 Macan, Macan S, Macan Turbo and Macan GTS, 39,547 units. A 2017 GTS remedied under 17V-133 in 2017 is back in scope here, which is the concrete case of a completed recall not closing the question. Owner letters went out 2021-10-25.

Rear Outboard Seat Belt Anchor Screw Not Tightened — 37 Units, Base and S Only
The screw attaching the lower seat belt anchor to the seat frame on the outboard rear seats may not have been tightened properly, and an untightened anchor can detach in a crash. Dealers replace and tighten the screws. 37 units across seven model years of Macan and Panamera, and for 2017 the scope is the Macan and Macan S only — no Turbo or GTS. Narrow enough that most owners will never have heard of it, which is exactly why the VIN check rather than the seller is the right source.

Optional Ski Bag Strap Sewn With the Wrong Thread — 142 Units, Fitment-Dependent
On 2017-2018 Cayennes and Macans fitted with the optional ski bag, the fastening strap may have been sewn with incorrect thread so the seams can tear and leave the bag unsecured in a crash. Dealers replace the ski bag. 142 units. It applies only if the car actually has the ski bag, so the VIN may show it open on a car that never had the option, or closed because somebody removed it — look in the car before treating this as either a problem or a non-problem.
