Porsche has announced a recall of 2024–2026 Panamera and Cayenne models equipped with V8 engines. In the United States, the action covers just 107 vehicles, yet the risk is significant: a fuel pump that isn’t secured correctly can lead to a fuel leak and potentially a fire.According to the company, the issue stems from a scanner malfunction on the production line, after which workers had to switch to a different tool. During the rework, the fasteners were tightened incorrectly, compromising the seal between the pump and the fuel lines.Notably, Porsche learned about the problem from Lamborghini: three similar incidents were recorded with the Urus SE, one of which resulted in a fire. It’s a reminder of how quickly safety concerns can surface across brands when symptoms align.In the U.S., the recall affects 5 Panamera vehicles and 102 Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe models. Dealers will begin inspections on October 10, 2025, and owners will receive mailed notifications starting November 21. The schedule leaves time to organize checks properly, though some owners will likely want faster appointments given the nature of the risk.Porsche stresses that the fuel pump design will not change, since the problem is tied to the rework process and quality control. The factory has already implemented new inspection standards. That points to a procedural fix rather than an engineering overhaul—appropriate when the root cause is installation, not hardware.
