Porsche Panamera Recalls (2010-2026)
The Porsche Panamera has been the subject of 22 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, suspension, and seat belts.
The Porsche Panamera scores 63 out of 100 (grade B), a better-than-average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 77% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 27% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 22 campaigns span 17 model years of the Porsche Panamera. The single largest affected 222,858 vehicles, over exterior lighting. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Panamera problems owners report.
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 Panamera 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.

- How many times has the Porsche Panamera been recalled?

- What is the most serious Porsche Panamera recall?
- The most serious recall on record involves the exterior lighting, affecting 222,858 vehicles. Improperly adjusted headlights may not illuminate the road properly, or cause a glare to oncoming drivers, which can increase the risk of a crash.
- Which Porsche Panamera model year has the most recalls?
- The 2018 Porsche Panamera has the most, with 8 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
- How do I check if my Porsche Panamera has an open recall?
- Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.
