Porsche Cayman Recalls

The Porsche Cayman has 9 recalls covering 2014 through 2024 model years, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2024 models where a shift cable safety clip can be improperly installed, preventing the transmission from locking into park and allowing the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly.

On 2021 GT4 and GTS 4.0 trims, engine connecting rods can crack and loosen while driving, potentially causing a stall, engine damage, or an oil leak that raises the risk of fire. A separate 2021 recall covers suspension fasteners that can work loose and detach, causing a sudden loss of stability and control.

The 2016 Cayman has an airbag control unit with a faulty power supply capacitor that can either deactivate the airbags entirely or trigger them without warning. Going back to 2014-2015 models, the rear-axle carrier side sections can fracture, causing loss of control. Those same years also have a hood latch that can fail to secure the front hood, allowing it to fly open while driving and blocking the driver's forward view. A 2014 model-year recall covers an intermittent connector in the passenger seat that can deactivate the frontal and knee airbags for that occupant.

Two lower-severity recalls from 2014 involve the owner's manual lacking adequate instructions for child seat installation, which can lead to improper fitment and increased injury risk in a crash.
