Buying a used 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has 2 recalls, concerning a rear suspension link that can detach and a control unit solder defect. These are specific campaign items to document beyond routine service history. The supplied complaint record contains 9 unverified owner reports: ENGINE 3, POWER TRAIN 3, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 2, and SERVICE BRAKES 1. Reported outcomes include 1 crash, 0 fires, and 1 injury, but the counts do not establish a connection to either recall.
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.
- Verify completion of the rear suspension link recall by VIN.
- Request documentation of the control unit solder defect remedy.
- Review repair records for engine, powertrain, electrical, and brake complaints.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
