Porsche 718 Spyder Recalls (2021-2024)
The Porsche 718 Spyder has been the subject of 3 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2021 to 2024 model years. They cluster mostly around the wheels, engine, and suspension. At least one is serious enough that NHTSA tells owners to stop driving the vehicle until it is fixed.
The Porsche 718 Spyder scores 3 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 67% involve a critical safety system, 1 carried a do-not-drive warning, and 33% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 3 campaigns span 2 model years of the Porsche 718 Spyder. The single largest affected 2,251 vehicles, over wheels. Some carry a do-not-drive warning, the most serious class of recall, which means NHTSA advises against driving the vehicle until the repair is done. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Porsche 718 Spyder may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
