Porsche announced their "campaign" (recall) on november 14, 2017. I have called several porsche dealers since that time, and the parts for this recall are not available. One dealer says it could be "another couple of months" before the part is available. The ah10 campaign says that this situation can cause a fire! Is this what porsche is waiting for? Something needs to be done to get them to produce the parts necessary to prevent significant injury or death.

Car was bought as certified porsche in mar 2011 with 66k miles; current miles 165k miles; driven approx. For 100k miles in 6 years. Engine clicking noise was getting louder and louder. Told by mechanics that the "f" cyn. Walls are scored and engine needs to be replace. Checked on-line for this condition with other v-8 porsche owners to find that it's very common. This seems like a design issue and safety wise ( no power, miss firing and stalling). A $100k new should not have a v-8 engine that has a design defect that is worth less at such low miles.

Coolant line/plastic coolant hose failure. I was driving in traffic and my low coolant light appeared. Within seconds, the car began smoking and the temp. Gage rapidly began to rise. I had to turn the car off immediately in the middle of traffic to avoid possible engine failure. I towed the car to my mechanic and he indicated its a design defect from porsche and the plastic tubes are now replaced by orem aluminum tubes. Upon further investigation, I was able to determine that the design flaw by porsche was concealed. The cayenne s is in the shop and I'm hoping that only the hoses need replacement and nothing else was damaged due to this issue. A huge dent in the wallet as this is a costly fix.

Porsche knowingly manufactured cayenne model vehicles with plastic coolant tubes that degrade and fracture causing engine coolant to leak into the engine, potentially leading to significant engine damage. Porsche has known about this defect and failed to make consumers aware of the potential failure despite the risk to the owners safety and pocketbook.

Coolant pipe start to fail for the model year 2004-2006. The material for coolant pipe was made of plastic and it resulted in a disintegration of pipe overtime due to temperature changes. Porsche technicians identified this issue and porsche engineers also identified this issue. They came up with a replacement part which is made of aluminum to mitigate damages to the engine due to sudden failure of coolant pipe. If the pipe busted, it will cause the vehicle to fail during operation and may result in a hazardous incident causing environmental issue and possibly injury to the driver and its passenger. It is highly recommend that porsche to recall this product and replace it for all defect to prevent further incident. Additionally, this is an engineering flaw so the cost to repair, replace or to upgrade cannot be the owner responsibility.
