Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is issuing a voluntary recall for 2015 model year 918 Spyder models in the United States. Intensive analysis revealed that the connecting shafts of the longitudinal and transverse control arms might be vulnerable to cathodic stress corrosion cracking (SCC). For this reason, the long-term durability of these components as installed in the affected vehicles cannot be assured. If the connecting shafts of the longitudinal and transverse control arms develop any cracking, the vehicle’s handling may be impaired under extreme conditions (such as racetrack use), increasing the risk of a crash.
Authorized Porsche dealers will replace the affected vehicle components with more robust materials at no charge. Replacement of the affected components is expected to take approximately seven to eight hours. Customers will be notified about the recall by mail. There are 305 affected vehicles in the United States. No incidents have been reported.
