Buying a used 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls are listed for this trim, fewer than other 2018 Panameras: a high-severity one for rear anti-roll bar links that can detach, and a medium one for control unit soldering that may affect driving. The coolant pump fire and brake pad warning recalls are not listed here. Neither recall carried stop-driving or park-outside instructions. The 2018 model year drew nine unverified NHTSA owner complaints overall, mostly engine, power train and electrical, with one crash and one injury.
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.
- Confirm the rear anti-roll bar link recall was completed by VIN
- Ask whether the control unit soldering remedy or software update was performed
- Have the hybrid system and battery health checked by a Porsche technician
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
