Porsche Carrera GT Recall 23V241: Worn suspension joints can cause loss of control

What this recall means for you

Certain 2004-2005 Porsche Carrera GT vehicles have spherical joints that connect the wishbone suspension components on the front and rear axles. These joints can fail because of damage from mechanical stress and corrosion.

If a joint fails, the suspension can fail as well, which can cause a loss of vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the repair has been completed. Dealers will inspect the suspension joints, and if damage is found, the vehicle should not be driven until it is repaired.

Once parts are available, authorized dealers will replace the spherical joints free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 17, 2024. For questions, contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243, referencing recall number APA3. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
