- The defect
- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2021 Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne GTS, Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne S Coupe, Cayenne Turbo Coupe, and Cayenne GTS Coupe vehicles. The lock nut on the trailing arm of the rear axle may break due to stress corrosion.
- What it can cause
- A broken lock nut may misalign the rear axle, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock nuts, free of charge. The recall began on June 18, 2021. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AMA9.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,568 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 12 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V224000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V896000 (back over prevention), 22V040000 (suspension), 21V493000 (steering), 21V318000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. with NHTSA on April 21, 2021 as campaign 21V271000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
