Porsche Recalls 1,000 Luxury Cars for Safety Risk

Porsche has announced an urgent recall of approximately 10,000 luxury vehicles, including the 718, 911, and Panamera models, due to a serious defect in the central locking nuts that could cause wheels to detach while driving. Owners have been warned not to drive their cars until the issue is resolved, with around 1,000 drivers in the UK already notified. The recall affects vehicles manufactured between September 1, 2022, and October 23, 2023, although not all cars within these dates are impacted. The defect poses a significant safety risk, increasing the likelihood of accidents and injuries if a wheel becomes loose. Porsche is actively identifying affected vehicles and arranging for inspections and necessary repairs, with parts availability expected by February. The company emphasizes that customer safety is its top priority and is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
