The 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS has 3 recalls, the most serious being a potential electrical short that can cause a fire.
The transmission also carries a significant risk: if a driver exits the vehicle without placing the gear selector in Park and without applying the parking brake, the car can roll away unexpectedly. On the lighting side, headlights on certain vehicles may be improperly aimed, either leaving the road ahead poorly lit or creating glare that blinds oncoming drivers.

What the fix does
Dealers will replace the shifter cable bushing at no cost. Use the parking brake until your vehicle is repaired.
