PORSCHE CAYENNE S Recalls

The Porsche Cayenne S has 11 recalls spanning 2003 through 2024, with the most serious recent issue being loose high-pressure fuel pump connections on 2024 V8-equipped models that can leak fuel and create a fire risk. The 2024 model year also has a software issue causing front turn signals to display the wrong color when hazard lights are active, which can confuse other drivers. Going back to the earliest production years, the 2003–2006 models have a fuel pump flange that can crack and leak fuel, raising the same fire risk near ignition sources. The 2003 model year alone carries several additional concerns: a separate fuel tank filler neck grounding problem where static electricity generated during refueling can spark and ignite fuel vapors; wiring harness damage from parking brake springs rubbing against it, which can cause electrical failures or a fire under the dashboard; a transmission shifter that can detach from the transmission and leave the vehicle in a different gear than the selector indicates, with the potential for unexpected movement; a driver's seat frame with inadequate welds that can break in a crash; and a compliance issue where the steering wheel does not lock when the key is removed in certain override situations. The 2004 model year has a transfer case oil pump that can rotate out of position, starving internal gears of lubrication and eventually fracturing the transfer case housing if driving continues. On 2011 models, headlamp assemblies can work loose and detach from the vehicle, reducing road visibility for the driver and posing a hazard to pedestrians and nearby vehicles.
