4 NHTSA recalls · 9 owner complaints on file

This wagon body style carries the same four 2018 Panamera recalls. The critical one is a coolant pump that can short out and catch fire; Porsche did not direct owners to stop driving or park outside. A high-severity recall addresses rear anti-roll bar links that can detach, and two medium ones cover an absent worn brake pad warning and control unit soldering. Nine unverified owner complaints were filed with NHTSA for the year — engine, power train, electrical and brakes — with 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. Verify by VIN that the coolant pump fire recall is closed
  3. Inspect rear anti-roll bar links and listen for rear-end clunks
  4. Ask when brake pads were last replaced, since no wear warning exists
  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.
