Porsche Expands Centre-Lock Recall for 911 and 718 Models

Porsche has widened a safety recall tied to centre-lock wheel components on some of its most focused 911 and 718 models.

The update adds 548 vehicles from the 2024 model year and comes with a clear instruction for affected owners: don’t drive the car until it has been checked.

For a brand whose GT and RS models are built around precision hardware, a wheel-fastening issue is more than an inconvenience.

At a glance

• Porsche has added 548 vehicles to an existing recall involving defective centre-lock wheel components.
• The issue affects selected 2024 high-performance 911 and 718 models equipped with centre-lock wheel systems.
• Owners of newly affected vehicles are being told not to drive until Porsche dealers inspect and repair the system if needed.

The expanded centre-lock recall

According to the NHTSA, the recall includes several 2024 Porsche models, among them the 911 GT3, 911 GT3 RS, 911 Turbo, 911 Turbo S, 911 S/T and 911 Carrera GTS.

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder RS are also listed among the affected cars.

Porsche first announced the recall in October 2024, when 2,251 vehicles were covered.

The latest expansion follows two further reports of fractured centre-lock components, received in May and August, which led Porsche to reopen its investigation.

What triggered the Do Not Drive warning

The renewed investigation found that Porsche’s original process for identifying defective components had missed some potentially affected parts.

More vehicles may have received components made from the same out-of-specification material batch, which is why the campaign has now been widened.

Centre-lock wheels are a familiar feature on Porsche’s track-oriented and upper-performance models, using a single central fastener rather than the more common multi-lug arrangement.

That makes the integrity of the fastening hardware critical, particularly on cars designed for high loads and high speeds.

How Porsche will handle affected cars

Porsche will contact owners by phone, email and through the My Porsche app.

Owners of newly affected cars are being instructed not to drive until the inspection has been completed.

Dealers will inspect the centre-lock wheel fastening systems and replace defective components at no charge.

Until that work is done, affected owners should follow the Do Not Drive instruction rather than moving the vehicle for routine use.

Details & Specifications

For owners, the priority is straightforward: wait for Porsche’s contact, confirm whether the car is affected and keep it parked until the centre-lock system has been inspected.
