4 NHTSA recalls · 9 owner complaints on file

This long-wheelbase Turbo carries the full 2018 Panamera recall set. Most serious is the coolant pump that can short out and catch fire, rated critical but issued without stop-driving or park-outside direction. A high-severity recall covers detaching rear anti-roll bar links, with medium recalls for a missing worn brake pad warning and control unit soldering. NHTSA has nine unverified owner complaints for the year, led by engine and power train, 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. Ask the seller for dealer paperwork showing the coolant pump recall completed
  3. Have the rear anti-roll bar links checked on a lift
  4. Request recent brake service records, since no pad wear alert 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.
