Porsche 918 Recalls (2015-2015)
The Porsche 918 has been the subject of 1 recall campaign on record with NHTSA across the 2015 model years. They cluster mostly around the suspension. At least one is serious enough that NHTSA tells owners to stop driving the vehicle until it is fixed.
The Porsche 918 scores 2 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. 100% involve a critical safety system, 1 carried a do-not-drive warning, and 0% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 1 campaigns span 1 model year of the Porsche 918. The single largest affected 39 vehicles, over suspension. 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 918 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.
