The 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive has 4 recalls, the most serious being a climate control coolant pump that can allow moisture inside, cause an electrical short, and start a vehicle fire.
The rear suspension has a separate recall where a component can shift unexpectedly and alter how the car handles, reducing the driver's ability to maintain control. On the brake side, the wear indicators on the brake pads may fail to alert the driver when the pads are worn down to the point where stopping distance is significantly reduced. There is also an electrical system recall where a fault can impair the car's driveability, making the vehicle behave unpredictably and raising the risk of a crash.
