A small number of 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder owners will be notified by the manufacturer to return their cars to an approved dealership to repair a problem that could result in difficulty controlling the vehicle. According to reports, internal tests have shown that the rear axle control arms from a certain production batch may not meet the required specification. This reduced durability, under severe use or after an extended period of time, could result in the connecting links of a control arm to break. This unexpected reduced control of the vehicle could increase the chance of an accident.

Once a notification schedule has been established, owners will be contacted to have their vehicles control arm inspected and replaced as necessary. Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche’s number for this recall is AE03 and the NHTSA campaign number is 14V-457.
