- Headlight adjustment caps. Recall 22V656000 affects 222,858 vehicles including this model, where missing caps on low-beam headlight adjustment screws can lead to improper headlight alignment. This may reduce road illumination or cause glare to oncoming drivers, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and install missing caps free of charge.
- Gear selector bushing. Recall 19V446000 covers 99,665 vehicles and addresses a defective bushing that may detach, allowing key removal without the transmission being in Park.

Dealers replace the shifter cable bushing free of charge; owners must use the parking brake until repaired.
- A/C blower electrical short. Recall 19V322000 affects 33,206 vehicles, including the 2013 Panamera S. Water can enter the A/C blower control unit, causing an electrical short that raises fire risk. Dealers inspect and replace the control unit as needed at no cost. Owners are advised to park outdoors until the remedy is completed.
- Airbag inflator rupture risk. Recall 20V123000 involves Takata airbag inflators in affected vehicles that may rupture upon deployment, projecting metal fragments and causing injury or death. Dealers replace the inflators free of charge to mitigate this risk.
- Fuel pump leakage. Recall 18V789000 addresses possible fuel pump leaks that increase fire risk. Dealers inspect and replace fuel pumps as necessary, free of charge.
