Recalls- Headlight caps missing. NHTSA recall 22V656000 affects 222,858 vehicles. Missing caps on low-beam headlight adjustment screws allow improper headlight alignment.

The bushing attaching the gear selector lever to the gearbox may detach, letting the driver remove the key without the transmission in Park. This risks unexpected vehicle movement if the parking brake is not applied. Dealers will replace the bushing at no cost. Owners are advised to use the parking brake until repair.
- A/C blower electrical short. Recall 19V322000 covers 33,206 vehicles. Water ingress can cause a short circuit in the A/C blower control unit, raising fire risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the blower control unit as needed free of charge. Until repaired, owners are advised to park vehicles outdoors.
- Additional lighting defect. Included in recall 22V656000. Issues affect various Porsche models across years 2001 to 2020 related to headlight sealing caps failure that compromises light performance and safety compliance. Repairs involve inspection and cap installation by dealers.
- Other electrical system defects. Referenced under recall 19V322000 covering 2010-2016 models. The electrical defects involve components linked to potential short circuit hazards requiring dealer inspection and replacement.
