The 2021 Porsche Panamera has 4 recalls, the most serious being a front suspension arm that can break and cause a sudden loss of steering control, raising the risk of a crash.
Two other concerns share equal severity. The climate control system's external coolant pump can allow humidity inside, causing an electrical short that can start a fire. On the restraint side, seatbelt retractors in the passenger and rear seating positions may fail to lock properly when securing a child safety seat, leaving the seat inadequately anchored in a crash.
