Recalls- Headlight adjustment caps. NHTSA recall 22V656000 affects 222,858 vehicles including 2016 Panamera GTS.

- Transmission gear position indicator. Recall 19V446000 covers 99,665 vehicles including the 2016 Panamera GTS. The bushing attaching the gear selector lever can degrade and detach.

Dealers will replace the bushing free of charge. Recall started August 9, 2019.
- A/C blower control unit. Recall 19V322000 affects 33,206 vehicles including the 2016 Panamera GTS. Water intrusion can cause a short circuit in the A/C blower control unit, increasing fire risk.

- Additional recall details. Three other recalls are filed for this model but require reference to the specific recall report for comprehensive affected components and remedies.
