The 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump flange that can crack and allow gasoline to leak, raising the risk of a fire if the fuel contacts an ignition source.
Two other issues round out the list. On the drivetrain side, the transmission's gear position indicator may not accurately reflect the actual gear selected, meaning the vehicle could be in a driveable gear when the driver believes it is in Park. Stepping out without confirming the transmission and applying the parking brake can result in the vehicle rolling away unexpectedly. There is also a headlight concern: the headlights on certain vehicles may be aimed incorrectly, either leaving the road ahead underlit or throwing glare into the eyes of oncoming drivers, both of which reduce visibility and raise crash risk.

What can fail
The bushing connecting the gear selector lever to the gearbox can wear and detach over time. This may let you move the shift lever to Park and remove the key while the transmission is actually in a different gear, with no warning.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the shifter cable bushing at no cost. Use the parking brake until your vehicle is repaired.
