Porsche Cars Australia is recalling 77 examples of its 911 and 718 sports cars made in 2024 to rectify an issue with centre-lock wheel nuts which could cause a wheel to detach while driving.
The recall affects the 911 Carrera GTS, GT3, GT3 RS, S/T, Turbo and Turbo S from the 992 generation, as well as the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder RS from the 982 generation.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the road wheel centre lock nuts may fracture. This could cause the wheel to loosen and detach from the vehicle whilst driving,” says the official recall notice.
