2 recalls covering model years 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Some Cayenne GTS vehicles have an engine problem where cracks can develop on the surface inside the engine cylinder. Over time, these cracks may cause damage to the engine, which could make the engine stall while you are driving, or cause the engine to develop an oil leak. Porsche dealers will replace the entire engine completely, free of charge, to fix the issue with these vehicles.
On certain Porsche Cayenne, Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne S Coupe, Cayenne GTS, Cayenne GTS Coupe, and Cayenne E-Hybrid Coupe vehicles, a heating element that should have been installed in the front passenger seat back was left out. This part affects the system that senses whether a passenger is sitting in the seat, which can throw off its readings. Because of this, the front passenger airbag may fail to deploy.
