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.
Certain Porsche Panamera models may have a problem with the external coolant pump used for the climate control system. Moisture can get inside this pump, and when it does, it can cause an electrical short circuit. This kind of short circuit happens when the pump is exposed to humidity it isn't designed to handle, affecting the electrical connection inside it.
A control unit in these vehicles was soldered incorrectly. This soldering problem can cause various systems in the vehicle to fail intermittently, meaning they may stop working and then start again, which can affect how well the vehicle drives.
Porsche is recalling certain Panamera and Cayenne vehicles. The instrument cluster, the display behind the steering wheel, may fail to show a visual warning when the brake pads have worn out. Without that warning, the driver is not told that the pads need attention. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for light vehicle brake systems. Dealers will correct it by updating the instrument cluster software.
Certain Porsche Panamera models have connecting links that attach the rear anti-roll bar to the suspension. These links can come loose and detach. When that happens, nearby suspension parts can be damaged, and the way the car handles on the road can change unexpectedly. This issue affects several Panamera variants, including the 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S E-Hybrid versions covered by this recall.
