The 2014 Porsche Cayman has 5 recalls, the most serious being a hood latch that can fly open while driving and block the driver's view through the windshield, and a rear axle carrier that can fracture and cause sudden loss of vehicle control.
On the safety equipment side, a wiring plug in the passenger seat circuit can work loose intermittently, cutting power to the front passenger frontal and knee airbags so they do not deploy in a crash. Two recalls address child seat guidance: the owner's manual either lacks sufficient detail or is missing instructions entirely for properly securing a child restraint system, meaning a caregiver following the manual may not install the seat correctly, leaving a child more vulnerable in a collision.
