6 recalls across 4 model years
The Porsche 718 Cayman has 6 recalls spanning 2017 through 2023, with the most serious being a structural defect on 2017-2019 models where a crossmember can detach from the luggage compartment bracket in a crash, allowing fuel to leak near potential ignition sources and raising the risk of fire.
The most recent recall affects only 2023 GTS 4.0 models, where incorrect programming of the rear electronics control unit can position the rear spoiler too high, blocking the high-mounted brake light from view and potentially degrading handling to the point of losing control.
The 2018 model year has a separate airbag concern where the airbags may not deploy in a crash, reducing occupant protection. On 2017 models, there are two distinct airbag issues: the seat-mounted side airbag inflator initiator can fail to fire, leaving the side airbag inert in a side-impact crash, and the passenger frontal airbag inflator initiator can similarly fail to ignite, preventing the front passenger airbag from deploying. There is also a fuel system issue on 2017 models where a fuel line fitting can leak, creating a fire risk near ignition sources.
