2015 PORSCHE 918 SPYDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder has 11 recalls, the most serious being multiple suspension control arm defects across both axles where arms can crack or break and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Both the front and rear suspension are affected. Front lower control arms can crack at the ball joint, impairing handling, while rear longitudinal and transverse control arms can fracture or develop stress corrosion cracking over time, with the same result. These are separate issues affecting different parts of the suspension but share the same consequence: a sudden loss of steering or handling response, particularly under aggressive driving. There is also a fire risk: the wiring harness for the left rear radiator fan can chafe against a heat insulation plate, cause an electrical short, and start a fire. Rounding out the list are two related seatbelt recalls. If the seatbelt mounting or reel attachment bolts were removed during servicing, they may have been reinstalled in the wrong location or replaced with incorrect hardware, which can allow the seatbelt anchor to pull free in a crash.
