Showing 151–175 of 183 recalls.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The turbo chargers fitted to the affected vehicles may not be manufactured to the required standard. The result of one or both of the turbo chargers failing is rough running and lack of power. In the worst case scenario there is a possibility that fire could occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the turbo chargers.
RISK OF FIRE
A fuel pipe quick connector located under the vehicle could be contacting a heating pipe. The contact of the pipe and connector could impair the locking function of the connector and in the worst case could cause the fuel pipe to leak and the possibility of the engine cutting out or fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check for contact of the heating pipe and fuel line and if there is sufficient clearance fit a spacing ring and if there has been contact fit a new fuel line and spacer.

HEADLIGHT MAY DETACH
If a headlight module is not locked correctly relative movements with respect to the wing can occur. In rare cases this can cause the headlight to become detached from the wing. Based on results from internal quality control checks and individual complaints Porsche has decided to incorporate measures to make the locking system more robust into standard production and they will retrofit these changes on existing models.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the locking mechanism on both headlights replaced.
WHEEL MAY DETACH
At a recent 24 hour race at the Nurburgring Circuit it was identified that the clamping force/torque on the centre wheel locking components is incorrect. If the vehicle is used under racing type conditions it is possible that the centre locking device could undo which if not identified could lead to a wheel detachment.
Recall all the affected vehicles to check the centre locking components and replace them if required.
FRONT SEAT BELT MOUNT MAY BECOME DETACHED
It is possible that the position of the front seat could affect the security front seat belt mounting. In the worst case the seat belt may become detached from the seat during a collision.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional locking element to the affected seat belt mountings.
SUN SHIELD MAY DETACH
It is possible that the locking hook on the sunshield may not engage correctly into the lock catch on the windscreen frame. If this occurs then the shield can open when the vehicle is travelling at high speeds.
Recall the affected vehicles for the shield catch to be replaced.
ENGINE SPACERS MAY DETACH
Due to vibration it is possible that stress cracks make occur on the engine spacer. This will normally result in noises however it is possible on high milage vehicles for the spacers to become detached.
Fitment of additional damping elements to reduce the vibration and overcome the issue.

STEERING COULD BE IMPAIRED
It has been identified that it is possible that the threaded joints on the chassis of subject vehicles may not have been tightened to the prescribed torque. This may result in the screws becoming loose resulting in noises from around the vehicle. Should the screws detach steering control can become impaired.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject joints checked to ensure that they are tightened to the correct torque.

FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a fuel line within the scuttle panel area may be in contact with the engine compartment cover. This can result in a knocking noise and the fuel line becoming damaged with the attendant possibility that a fuel leak may occur.
Recalled vehicles will have the routing of the fuel line changed and an additional spacer fitted. In the event of damage to the fuel line it will be replaced.
DEFECTIVE SWITCH CONSOLE
The switch console for the PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) and TC Off (Traction Control) may be defective and give incorrect signals or cause the above systems to fail.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the switch console.
SEAT BUCKLE MAY NOT DE-LATCH FOLLOWING AN IMPACT
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a faulty seat belt buckle has been installed as part of the six- point seat belt harness. If a faulty buckle has been installed it may not be possible open the buckle following an accident if the belt straps have been subject to a tensile load thus requiring the seat belt straps to be cut before the occupant could leave the vehicle.
Subject vehicles will have the seat belt buckle checked for the production date and replaced as necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
A bearing flange on the parking brake lever is likely to break. If this occurs the parking brake will be ineffective.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the parking brake lever assembly.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the parking brake lever assembly.
WELD SEAMS ON THE EXHAUST TAILPIPE MAY FAIL
The welded seams on the exhaust tailpipe may fail. This can cause rattling noises while driving and can result in the loss of the exhaust tailpipe if the driver continues to drive the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust tailpipes with modified units.
THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR CONVERTIBLE TOP MAY FAIL
There is a possibility that when the convertible top is closed the convertible top is not completely locked even though the warning lamp is extinguished. This could lead to the roof opening whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit modified locking-mechanism motors. In addittion check that the correct locating pegs are installed and that the convertible top is set correctly.

SEAT BACKS DO NOT MEET THE RIGIDITY OF PORCHE SPECIFICATION
Front seats are fitted with seat backs that do not meet the rigidity Porsche AG demands.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the front seats with those which meet all the appropriate requirements.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK MAY CAUSE AN ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE
There is a possibility that the ground connection between the thread of the tank filler neck and the connecting pipe to the fuel tank may not be sound which may result in an electrostatic charge which in rare cases could create a spark which could ignite fuel vapours in the area outside of the tank filler neck which could lead to a muffled detonation..
Recall affected vehicles inspect and if necessary rework ground connection.
THE SPRING OF THE FOOT OPERATED HANDBRAKE MAY RUB ON THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS
Possibility that the spring of the foot operated handbrake may rub on the main wiring harness and damage it
Recall affected vehicles and fit a cover to protect the harness.
