The 2013 Porsche Panamera Turbo S has 3 recalls, the most serious being an electrical short that can cause a fire, alongside a transmission issue where the car can roll away unexpectedly if exited without being placed in Park.
The rollaway risk occurs when the transmission indicator does not clearly communicate the selected gear position, making it possible to leave the vehicle thinking it is in Park when it is not. Without the parking brake applied, the car can then move on its own. On the lighting side, the headlights on certain vehicles may be aimed incorrectly, either failing to light the road ahead adequately or pointing high enough to blind oncoming drivers.
