Porsche 918 Spyder: Longitudinal And Transverse Control Arms May Be Prone To Corrosion
Summary Porsche is recalling 78 model year 918 Spyder vehicles because the longitudinal and transverse control arms may corrode over time. If corrosion causes the fastening bolts to crack, it could affect vehicle handling during extreme driving conditions and increase accident risk. Porsche will replace the affected control arms with components made of more durable material.

- Internal tests have shown that the longitudinal and transverse control arms installed on the affected vehicles may be prone to corrosion. The durability of these components cannot therefore be unequivocally guaranteed. f the fastening bolts on the longitudinal and transverse control arms crack due to corrosion vehicle handling in extreme situations e.g. during race track driving may be restricted and this can increase the risk of an accident. Remedy: The affected components on the vehicles will therefore be replaced by components made of more robust material.
