Buying a used 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 9 owner complaints on file

The standout item is a coolant pump that can short out and catch fire — rated critical, though no stop-driving or park-outside instruction was issued. A high-severity recall covers rear anti-roll bar links that can detach, plus two medium recalls for a missing worn brake pad warning and control unit soldering. This Executive shares the full 2018 Panamera recall set. NHTSA shows nine unverified owner complaints for the year, mostly engine, power train and electrical, including one crash and one injury.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Get written confirmation the coolant pump recall repair was performed
3. Have the rear anti-roll bar links inspected for play or detachment
4. Ask whether brake pad wear warning and control unit updates were done
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
