Porsche Cayenne Recalls

The Porsche Cayenne has 38 recalls spanning 2003 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2024 models where a cracked driver's side front upper control arm can break while driving, causing sudden loss of steering and wheel control.

The 2024–2026 model years also have a fuel pump fastener that can work loose and allow a fuel leak near ignition sources. On 2024 models, a software fault can prevent rear hazard and parking lights from activating shortly after the vehicle shuts down. Rearview camera images can fail to appear when reversing on 2019–2025 vehicles.

The 2021–2022 model years have a rear axle alignment issue from incomplete work during an earlier recall repair, leading to uneven tire wear and potential tire failure. On 2021 models, rear trailing arm lock nuts can break from stress corrosion and allow the trailing arm to come loose, causing sudden loss of stability, and the steering column screw connection to the steering box can fail and detach the column entirely. On 2020–2021 Coupe and E-Hybrid Coupe variants, a missing seat heating element can prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying in a crash.

The 2019 model year carries several recalls: a steering column fastener that can loosen and detach the column; a 220V charging cable on plug-in hybrid models that can overheat during charging; a rear passenger seatbelt buckle that can break under crash loads; and a brake pad wear warning system that fails to alert the driver when pads are worn. The 2017–2018 model years have an optional ski bag that can detach during a crash.

On 2013–2014 vehicles, the fuel gauge reads higher than the actual fuel level and can cause an unexpected stall. The 2011–2016 model years have a missing circlip at the brake pedal pivot pin that can allow the pedal to dislodge, leaving the driver unable to brake. The 2011–2012 model years also have headlamps that can detach from the fender and a turbocharger turbine wheel that can fracture, drawing oil into the exhaust and raising the risk of fire.

The 2008 model year has a V6 fuel line that can chafe against the engine compartment cover and develop a fuel leak. On 2004–2010 vehicles, the transmission gear position indicator can misread the selector position, creating a rollaway risk if the driver exits believing the vehicle is in Park. The 2004 model year also has a transfer case that can lose internal oil pressure and fracture its housing, and a rear seatbelt latch attachment that may not hold in a crash. The 2003 model year has a child restraint anchoring issue where the seatbelt system may not properly secure a child seat in a crash.
