The 2004 Porsche Carrera GT has two recalls, both concerning the same issue: spherical joints connecting the wishbone suspension components on the front and rear axles can corrode and fail, causing loss of vehicle control and raising the risk of a crash.
When these joints weaken and give way, the suspension can collapse without warning, leaving the driver unable to steer or control the car. Both the front and rear axles are affected, so the failure can occur at either end of the vehicle.
