The 2014 Porsche Cayman has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a hood latch that can fail and allow the hood to fly open while driving, blocking the driver's forward view, and a rear axle carrier that can fracture and cause sudden loss of control.
On the safety equipment side, an intermittent connector in the passenger seat wiring can deactivate the front passenger airbags and knee airbags, leaving that occupant without supplemental protection in a crash. Two recalls relate to child seat installation: the owner's manual either lacks sufficient detail or is missing instructions entirely for properly securing a child restraint, which can lead to improper installation and raise the risk of injury to a child passenger in a crash.
