Bad news for Porsche 918 Spyder owners: Porsche is recalling a bunch of the quickest-ever production hypercars for a wiring problem affecting vehicles manufactured up until April of this year. Alert every 918 owner you know.
The problem has to do with the electric wiring harness for one of the car's many radiator fans, which can chafe up against a carbon-fiber component in certain cases. Porsche says the fix will involve rerouting the wiring harness, and the production line has been updated with the fix so it shouldn't affect the car from this point forward.

Porsche says the recall affects 223 vehicles in the U.S., and diagnosis and repair will take about a half a day. Somehow, we imagine most owners of the $850,000 machine have a second car to drive while their hybrid screamers are in the shop.
