The 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate fuel leak risks: a crossmember that can detach from the luggage compartment bracket in a crash, and a fuel system line issue, either of which can allow fuel to escape near an ignition source and cause a fire.
Both airbag recalls involve inflator initiators that can fail to fire during a crash. One affects the front passenger airbag, which may not deploy when needed, and the other affects the seat-mounted side airbag, which can also fail to inflate in a side impact. In both cases, the occupant loses a layer of crash protection they would otherwise have.
