To address a defect and comply with new European cybersecurity standards effective July 2024, Porsche is recalling specific 2024 models. This recall affects only 14 vehicles produced between July 6, 2023, and March 21, 2024, due to a fault identified during a factory rework process, though the precise assembly site has not been disclosed.
The issue involves a malfunction in the installation of the safety clip on the PDK transmission shift cable, which could result in the gearbox not securing properly in the park position, thereby increasing the risk of rollaway incidents.
Porsche Cars North America will resolve this by having dealers conduct pull tests on the shift cables and replace any that are faulty. Additionally, reworked vehicles will undergo inspections to ensure the seven-speed PDK double-clutch transmission operates correctly in park mode.
Porsche has swiftly responded to a safety issue stemming from a defect in a part identified as 982713266B, supplied by Slovakia-based Kuster. This proactive recall comes after two rollaway incidents in April 2024, affecting 5% of the vehicles. Notification letters to owners will be sent out by June 12, 2024, ensuring timely resolution.
Despite this challenge, Porsche’s 718 series remains a favorite among car enthusiasts. The 2.0-liter Cayman starts at $68,300, delivering both performance and precision. For those seeking peak performance, the Cayman GT4 RS and Spyder RS are available. These models, powered by a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine with 493 horsepower, start at $160,700, showcasing Porsche’s dedication to high-performance engineering.
