The 2011 Porsche Panamera has 4 recalls, the most serious being a rollaway risk and an electrical short that can cause a fire. The rollaway issue occurs when the transmission is not in Park and the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, allowing it to move on its own. The electrical fault creates a fire risk without a related mechanical warning to the driver. On the engine side, camshaft controllers can come loose internally, causing a stall and sudden loss of power while driving. There is also a headlight recall covering a wide range of Porsche models across many years: the headlights may be improperly aimed, either leaving the road ahead poorly lit or creating glare for oncoming traffic.
