Porsche learned of the problem after a fire broke out in one of the vehicles in Syria in October. The company learned of a second incident on a racetrack, but did not identify the location.

Worldwide there have been 37 failures of the turbine wheels, including three in the U.S. One fire in a car sold in the U.S. was reported in late June.
