This page covers 1 recall and 24 owner complaints for the 2016 Porsche Macan.
Airbag-related complaints make up the largest share of what 2016 Macan owners report, and most describe a common thread: the dashboard leather covering shrinks and pulls away, causing the material to separate and staples to become exposed. Owners report being told this can interfere with proper airbag deployment, and several describe the issue as widespread across the model. Engine complaints are the next most reported, with owners describing a Y-shaped plastic coolant line that cracks and leaks, leading to coolant loss and overheating, and at least one report of an oil leak near the timing cover producing a burning smell inside the cabin. Brake complaints are limited to a couple of reports and don't form a clear pattern. The dashboard leather separation issue draws the most consistent attention, with multiple owners noting that Porsche dealers acknowledge the problem but that no corrective action has been taken.
