Huge 2010-2016 Panamera Recall

Porsche's recalling the bulk of its first-gen four-doors to keep them from catching fire.

 

Porsche has issued a recall notice for certain examples of the Panamera. 33,206 of them,

to be precise, from the 2010 to 2016 model years.

 

The recall includes close to the entire array of Panamera variants offered during those years,

including base, S, 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, and S E-Hybrid models, as well as

long-wheelbase Executive, special Platinum and Exclusive Series editions, and diesel models.

 

Those first-gen models, though, have apparently had a problem with water leaking into the

A/C blower control unit. The moisture could cause the electronics to short-circuit, which in turn

could spark a fire. So Porsche is instructing its dealership technicians to add a relay harness

and reseal the entire blower control unit to keep water from getting in. In the meantime, it's

advising owners to park their Panameras outside, lest a potential fire spread to, say, the entire

house and engulf everyone and everything inside.

Note: Porsche recommends that owners park their vehicle outdoors until the recall remedy has been performed.

edit: I didn't get a hit thru VIN at Porsche and probably won't until later on I would guess. Just passing along since it had some specific recall # or AKA7 code
