ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The defect
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Panamera, Panamera 4, Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of specific model names and model years. Humidity may enter the external coolant pump for the climate control system and cause an electrical short circuit.
What it can cause
An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace the external coolant pump and inspect and replace the plug-in connection, if necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed March 6, 2023. Owners will receive a second notice once remedy becomes available, anticipated July 2023. Owners may contact Porsche's customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APA1.
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.nhtsa.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 24,467 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 10 times before this, most recently in October 2019 as 19V735000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 49 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 17 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2018, 5 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V443000 (seat belts), 21V608000 (seat belts), 21V362000 (suspension).

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.
