The 2014 Porsche Panamera 4 has 3 recalls, the most serious being two safety-critical issues: the vehicle can roll away unexpectedly if exited without the parking brake applied, and an electrical short can cause a fire.
The rollaway risk occurs because the transmission may not register or hold a Park selection, leaving the car free to move after the driver steps out. The electrical short is a separate concern in the car's wiring that can generate enough heat to start a fire. On the lighting side, the headlights on certain vehicles may be aimed incorrectly, either leaving the road ahead poorly lit or sending glare directly into the eyes of oncoming drivers, reducing visibility for everyone on the road.
