The 2015 Porsche Panamera Turbo has 3 recalls, the most serious being an electrical short that can cause a fire, alongside a transmission issue where the car may roll away if the driver exits without engaging Park or the parking brake.
The rollaway risk occurs because the gear selector can indicate the vehicle is in Park when it may not be, leaving nothing to hold the car in place on a slope or even flat ground. On the lighting side, the headlights on certain vehicles may be improperly aimed, either leaving the road ahead underlit or directing glare into the eyes of oncoming drivers, both of which raise the risk of a collision.

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.
