2020 Porsche Cayenne recalled again

UPDATE, March 2, 2022: A second recall notice has been put out for Porsche's 2020-built Cayenne, owing to a potential fault with work carried out under its first recall.

According to the manufacturer, a previous problem with the car's rear trailing arm clamping nuts was meant to be resolved, but the fix may have caused a further misalignment with the car's rear axle assembly.

The tweaks could result in excessive tyre wear across the rear axle, potentially leading to an unexpected flat tyre or premature delamination.

A total of 70 vehicles from the 92 originally affected are covered by the recall, with VINs for those impacted found here.

June 10, 2021: Porsche has issued a recall notice for its 2020 Cayenne due to a potential trailing arm failure, affecting 92 of 1385 models sold throughout last year.

Owners who purchased a Cayenne between September 16 and October 31, 2020 are being contacted by Porsche after the German brand discovered the clamping nuts on the rear trailing arm were not made to specification, causing potential failure over the life of the vehicle.

Excessive wear between the trailing arm and wheel carrier can cause failure of the parts and adversely affect handling, leading to a risk of injury for occupants.
