ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
6 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open), 16 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
If the driver is not alerted when brake pads are worn out, the vehicle may not respond as expected when braking, increasing the risk of crash.
Impaired vehicle driveability can increase the risk of a crash.
If the driver is not alerted when brake pads are worn out, the driver may lose control of the vehicle while attempting to brake, increasing the risk of crash.
An intermittent loss of power steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.
Braking ability that is reduced due to a corroded brake line can increase the risk of a crash.
Two 2018 PORSCHE PANAMERAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
