Porsche to recall 1,571 vehicles in China over trailing arms

Porsche, the luxury unit of Volkswagen, will recall 1,571 imported vehicles from China by next month, according to the country’s top quality watchdog.

The recall is set to start from July 5 and will involve some imported Panamera and Taycan models produced between February 2, to May 11, this year according to a statement on the State Administration for Market Regulation website.

The issue concerns the condition of front axle lower trailing arms that may not have been forged to specification, and that the trailing arms could damage and fail in extreme cases.

The company will replace faulty parts without any charge to resolve the safety concern.
