Porsche has to recall a total of around 10,600 vehicles with central locking rims worldwide. The manufacturer confirmed this when asked by auto-motor-und-sport.de. In Germany, around 2,150 cars with appropriate wheels have to go into the workshops. Special model versions of the 911 (Type 992), 718 (Type 982) and Panamera (Type G3) series are affected. The recalls have not yet been listed in the databases of the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) and the US traffic safety authority NHTSA.

Incorrect screwing of the wheels can lead to damage or even breakage of the central locking nut. As a result, the wheel fastenings can become loose, which can result in the loss of the wheel and loss of control of the vehicle. Until the problem has been resolved, “the affected vehicles should no longer be driven until the corrective action has been taken,” Porsche wrote in a statement.
According to the car manufacturer, the defect was noticed sporadically during continuous field monitoring of the affected models. The manufacturer is aware of individual accidents caused by the problem, but no injuries were reported.
Specifically, the following model versions are affected by the recall:
- Porsche 911/Type 992 (GT3, GT3 RS, Turbo, Turbo S, GTS and Sport Classic), construction period September 1st, 2023 to October 23rd, 2024
- Porsche 718/Type 982 (GT4 RS and Spyder RS), construction period September 1st, 2023 to October 23rd, 2024
- Porsche Panamera/Type G3 (Turbo S E-Hybrid, Turbo and GTS), construction period September 1st, 2023 to October 23rd, 2024
The central screw connections are checked in a Porsche center and replaced if necessary. The visit to the workshop takes about an hour and the action carried out is documented in the guarantee and maintenance booklet. The owners of affected vehicles have been contacted directly by the Porsche Centers since October 25, 2024; You will not incur any costs as a result of the recall. Porsche offers all customers replacement mobility. If necessary, this could also require the rental of rental vehicles, according to the manufacturer.
