Porsche Cars Australia has recalled 77 vehicles of various 2024 911, Boxster and Cayman models, including certain GT models. Porsche asks owners to stop using affected vehicles until a check and any necessary remedial work is carried out.
Why it matters
A manufacturing defect can cause the wheel centre lock nuts to fracture, which could let a wheel loosen and detach while driving. Owners of affected Porsches in Australia face a safety risk until the free dealership repair is completed.
The recall covers 77 vehicles from the 2024 model year across the 911, Boxster and Cayman ranges. The source does not specify how many of these vehicles have been inspected or repaired so far.
