The 2014 Porsche Panamera 4S has 3 recalls, the most serious being an electrical short that can cause a fire, and a transmission issue where the vehicle can roll away if a driver exits without selecting Park or setting the parking brake.
The rollaway risk occurs because the gear position indicator may not properly communicate or enforce that the transmission is in Park, leaving the vehicle free to move on any incline. The electrical short is a separate concern that raises the risk of fire without any driver action to trigger it. There is also a headlight recall: the aim on certain headlights may be set incorrectly from the factory, pointing too low to properly light the road ahead or too high in a way that throws glare into the eyes of oncoming drivers, either of which can contribute to a crash.

The bushing connecting the gear selector lever to the gearbox can wear and detach over time. This may let you move the shift lever to Park and remove the key while the transmission is actually in a different gear, with no warning.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the shifter cable bushing at no cost. Use the parking brake until your vehicle is repaired.
