The cause of the recall was originally identified after a detailed examination of inquiries. Since, Porsche has taken corrective measures during manufacturing of the 918 Spyder and owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted directly by Porsche Cars North America. Vehicles that need to be fixed will likely have to remain at the shop for half a day and all repairs will be done free of charge.
The Porsche 918 Spyder has been recalled multiple times already, most recently to fix an issue with the chassis. An older recall was for an issue with the exotic’s rear control arm.
