Buying a used 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS? Check these 2 recalls first

The engine recall makes documentation of the prescribed remedy especially relevant, alongside passenger-airbag repair status. NHTSA lists 12 owner complaints, which are unverified reports.

Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Obtain engine cylinder-crack recall repair documentation.
- Verify passenger airbag recall completion.
- Ask about stalling, engine warnings and electrical repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
