Porsche Suspension Recalls Involving Loose Fasteners and Control Arms
⚠ 2 of these recalls carry a do-not-drive advisory.
Loose suspension connections recur across these Porsche notices, particularly among 2021 vehicles. AMA8 concerns shock absorber screw connections on certain 2021 Macan variants; other notices address suspension fasteners on specified 2021 sports cars and Taycans, rear control arm connections on certain 2020 Taycans, and rear upper control arm connections on specified 911 vehicles. Cayenne notices include stress-corroded rear trailing arm lock nuts on certain 2021 variants and cracked upper control arms on certain 2024 vehicles. Retaining rings are another repeated concern: ANB8 covers specified 2021 Taycan variants, while ASA6 names certain 2025 Panamera E-hybrid, Taycan and Panamera vehicles. Both describe possible strut dislodgement.
Warning signs to watch for
- AJ06: An unexpected change in vehicle handling.
- AMA6: Driving instability if the loose rear control arm connection fails.
- ANA1: Premature or uneven tire wear associated with rear axle misalignment.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
Two supplied notices carry stop-driving instructions. AMA8 tells owners of affected 2021 Macan variants not to drive until the remedy has been performed. ARB2 tells owners of affected 2024 Cayennes not to drive until the repair is completed. Neither notice carries a park-outside instruction, and none of the other supplied suspension notices carries one. For the remaining listed suspension recalls, the notices do not tell owners to stop driving. The stop-driving instructions above belong specifically to AMA8 and ARB2.
What the free repair involves
The listed repairs are free. AMA8 reworks and tightens shock absorber screw connections; ARB2 replaces the driver-side left upper control arm. AMB2 replaces front lower trailing arms. ANB8 inspects and replaces the suspension strut if necessary; ASA6 inspects and reinstalls the retaining ring as necessary. ANA1 inspects the rear axle, adjusts alignment as necessary and replaces prematurely or unevenly worn tires.

Common questions
Which Porsche suspension recalls tell owners to stop driving?
AMA8 instructs owners of affected 2021 Macan variants not to drive until the remedy is performed. ARB2 gives a stop-driving instruction for affected 2024 Cayennes until repair is completed. The other supplied suspension notices do not tell owners to stop driving.
Why does the Cayenne rear axle alignment recall mention tire replacement?
ANA1 covers certain 2021-2022 Cayennes whose rear axle alignment may not have been inspected after AMA9 repairs. Misalignment may cause premature or uneven tire wear. Dealers inspect the axle, adjust alignment as necessary and replace affected tires free of charge.
Do the Taycan and Panamera strut notices specify the same repair?
ANB8 specifies inspecting the suspension strut and replacing it if necessary on specified 2021 Taycan variants. ASA6 specifies inspecting the retaining ring and reinstalling it as necessary on certain 2025 Panamera E-hybrid, Taycan and Panamera vehicles. Both remedies are free.
