SUMMARY:

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

CONSEQUENCE:

If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment, and check the screw connections for the 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. Porsche's number for this recall is AF04.

Turbo engines that can come apart can cause a fire - and that wouldn't be good, folks. Even Porsche has figured that out.
