Seriously, we have two other cars besides the Cayman and the recalls are just piling up. Price we have to pay for technology I guess.
Three on the Cayman, three on the wife’s Subaru and four for my Pacifica van.

What's the 3rd for the Cayman?

What's the 3rd for the Cayman?

Just got one today for the side airbags.

Maybe if one of you can list all the recalls on the 718 that would be helpful to the members. In addition to the issues posted above I found the following:

To check your Porsche or non-Porsche enter your VIN# on this webpage:

The NHTSA site doesn't seem very accurate. I entered my VIN and they report 0 unrepaired recalls. I know I have 2 recalls so far & none of them have been done yet.

If anyone has a better webpage for ferreting out the recalls please post.

Looks like our GTS is not subject to this recall. Thanks for posting.

Random question: but do we know how Porsche obtains mailing addresses for notification of the recalls? Is it based on the car registration? I ask because I purchased my 718 out-of-state, and have since moved from the address I used with the dealership. Thank you!

From NHTSA, for the 2018 Porsche Cayman, there are two recalls.

March 6, 2019 NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V179000
Air Bag Sensors May be Loose

February 20, 2019 NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V113000
Fuel Leak After Crash

https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/PORSCHE/718%252520CAYMAN/3%252520HB/RWD#recalls

When I searched the NHTSA website, I didn't get any results for VIN search, but I got the results above when searching by Vehicle.

I believe one option is to go to the Porsche website (if you haven't already done so), and register your car.

Alternatively, you should be able to go to (or call) your local Porsche dealership and have them verify the registered address.

In general how would you rate the new Porsches in terms of reliability?

Please don't hijack a thread to ask a question entirely unrelated to the thread. Either do some research within the existing postings, or create a new topic!

I was asking you guys to share your experience, because especially the engine is relatively new. I would expect to find in the forum a sticky topic of known Recalls / TSBs, but it looks there isn't any. It is much easier than to search several relevant or not so relevant topics under "718 Boxster/Cayman Issues And Problems".

Anyway, I might open a new topic later. Thank you.
