Porsche Panamera 4 recalls

4 recalls covering model years 2018. 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.

Porsche Macan and Panamera Rear Seat Belt Anchors Loose high

Reported 2023-06-26 · Campaign 23V443000 · Model years: 2018

The seat belts for the outer back seats are bolted to the seat frame at the bottom. On these cars, that screw may not have been tightened enough when the car was built. In a crash, a loose anchor can pull free, so the belt would not hold the person in the seat the way it should. Dealers will replace and properly tighten the lower screws on both rear outboard seat belts.

Porsche Panamera coolant pump can short out and catch fire critical

Reported 2023-01-27 · Campaign 23V033000 · Model years: 2018

Moisture can get inside the pump that circulates coolant for the climate control system. Water and electricity do not mix: the moisture can cause an electrical short, and a short in that area can start a fire in the car. Porsche sent an early warning letter before the repair was ready. Dealers will replace the pump, and check the plug connection and replace it too if needed, free of charge.

Porsche Panamera control unit soldering may affect driving medium

Reported 2019-03-06 · Campaign 19V180000 · Model years: 2018

Some 2018 Porsche Panamera models, including the hybrid and Sport Turismo versions, have a control unit that was soldered incorrectly at the factory. The bad connection can make various systems in the car cut out now and then, and those dropouts can affect how the car drives. Because the problem comes and goes, it may work fine one day and act up the next. The dealer replaces the control unit free.

Porsche Panamera and Cayenne: no worn brake pad warning medium

Reported 2019-02-20 · Campaign 19V115000 · Model years: 2018

Brake pads wear down over time and have to be replaced. These Porsches are supposed to show a warning in the instrument display when the pads are worn out, but that warning may never appear. Without it, you could keep driving on worn pads and only find out when the brakes do not slow the car the way you expect, which could leave you unable to stop in time or in control of the car. The dealer updates the instrument display software for free.
