The 2010 Porsche Cayenne has 2 recalls, the more serious being a transmission position issue where the vehicle can roll away unexpectedly if the driver exits without confirming the gear selector is in Park and the parking brake is set.
The second recall involves headlight aim: on certain vehicles, the headlights may be misadjusted and either fail to light the road adequately or throw glare toward oncoming traffic, raising the risk of a collision in either case.

The protective caps covering the low-beam headlight adjustment screws are missing, which allows headlights to be adjusted incorrectly and fail to meet federal lighting standards.

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.
