Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (suspension alignment) that reduces handling and increases crash risk, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S vehicles manufactured between November 26, 2014, and November 27, 2014. The recall addresses a manufacturing error where the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly. Additionally, the screw connections for camber, toe, and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque.

If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, which increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment and check the screw connections for proper torque, retightening as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification date. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
