Porsche expands 2024 911/718 wheel recall

Porsche announced a new round of its ‘Do Not Drive’ recall, adding 548 vehicles from the 2024 model year to a previous batch of 2,251 cars that were already flagged for wheel safety concerns. The latest addition follows the original recall issued in October 2024, which had already prompted owners of high‑performance models to stop driving their vehicles until repairs were made. The expanded recall expands the warning to the same group of cars that were part of the first recall, underscoring the seriousness of the issue.

Which models are involved

The affected cars include the 911 GT3, 911 GT3 RS, 911 Turbo, 911 Turbo S, 911 S/T, 911 Carrera GTS, as well as the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder RS. These models are known for their high speeds and track‑ready handling, making the risk of a wheel coming loose especially dangerous. The recall therefore targets the Porsche line that most heavily relies on center‑lock wheels for performance.

Porsche launched an investigation with its parts supplier and found that some center‑lock wheel components had been missed by the original inspection process. Further analysis revealed that additional vehicles may have received components from the same out‑of‑specification material batch, raising the risk of wheel failure.

Owners of cars that fall under the recall will receive contact from Porsche via phone, email, and the My Porsche app, advising them not to drive until the necessary repairs are completed. Authorized dealers will inspect the wheel fastening systems and replace any defective components at no cost to the customer. Vehicle identification numbers for the recalled models are searchable on the NHTSA website, and owners are encouraged to check their VINs and keep their cars parked until repairs are finished.
