The bushing attaching the gear selector lever to the gearbox may detach, allowing the ignition key to be removed while the transmission is not in Park without warning. This can cause unexpected vehicle movement. Dealers will replace the shifter cable bushing for free. Owners are advised to use the parking brake until repaired.
- Fuel pump flange. Recall 17V576000 involves 50,145 vehicles. A cracked fuel pump flange may lead to fuel leaks, increasing fire risk. Dealers will replace the fuel filter flanges with new ones that have a protective film at no charge.
- Other recalls. Additional recall notices cover various years and components but relate to the same core safety issues found in the 2006 Cayenne S.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, safety defects, or unresolved recall concerns should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a qualified attorney may help clarify potential remedies.
