Recalls are a fact of modern motor manufacturing. Despite intensive testing, endless computer simulation and rigorous component evaluation, new models can still exhibit faults which perversely seem to occur only in the hands of the consumer. The vast majority of these complaints require only very minor adjustments, which the manufacturer delegates to dealers for execution. All makes are affected, even our beloved Porsche.
In recent years, for example, the Panamera has been subject to recall for an unspecified engine control system fault. Owners of the 992-generation 911, meanwhile, were informed about a suspect rear suspension component, which could work loose. More recently, the Taycan was recalled for front suspension adjustment and, rather more seriously, for re-insulation of the vehicle's wiring harness. Even the 918 Spyder PHEV, a model with the longest and most choreographed introduction in Porsche history, had to be recalled. Twice, in fact. Once for unspecified chassis adjustments and a second intervention to modify the wiring harness. The most notable Porsche recall, however, occurred in 2014. With fewer than eight hundred cars involved, this was far from the largest recall in Porsche history, but the fault would attract a level of attention out of all
