Two Porsche U.S. Recalls Hit Cayenne, Panamera, Boxster And Cayman

Porsche has issued a pair of recalls for most models in its range across the United States.

The first of the recalls involves 2019 Cayenne S and Cayenne SUVs and 2017-2018 Panamera models, with 14,110 vehicles in total being affected.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that drivers may not be informed by the vehicles’ instrument cluster that the brake pads have worn out, thus increasing the risk of a crash. To resolve the issue, Porsche dealerships will update the instrument cluster software free of charge starting on April 21.

As for the second recall, it is more severe and impacts 14,388 examples of the 2017-2019 718 Boxster, Boxster S, Cayman, and Cayman S models. Additionally, 2018-2019 718 Boxster GTS and 2018-2019 718 Cayman GTS models are included in the recall.

While conducting a frontal crash test in February, Porsche discovered that a piece of the luggage compartment bracket can detach in a crash and could lead to a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealerships will also start fixing this issue from April 21.

Porsche owners can find out if their vehicles are included in either of the recalls by heading over to the NHTSA website and typing in their vehicle’s identification number. Alternatively, they can contact Porsche’s customer service directly for information regarding the two recalls.

The German car manufacturer had issued a seperate recall for the Panamera back in December 2018 due to an issue with the electric power steering. That recall campaign affected 74,585 units worldwide.
