The 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman has 4 recalls, the most serious involving fuel system concerns that can create a fire risk, including a crossmember that may detach from the luggage compartment bracket in a crash and allow fuel to leak.
Both fuel-related issues stem from the potential for fuel to escape near ignition sources, whether from a line or fitting under normal conditions or from a structural failure during a collision. On the safety equipment side, two separate airbag recalls affect this vehicle. The passenger frontal airbag inflator initiator can fail to ignite, meaning the airbag will not deploy in a crash and leaves the front passenger without that protection. Separately, the seat-mounted side airbags carry the same risk: the inflator initiator may not fire, leaving occupants without side impact cushioning when they need it most.
