Porsche Panamera: Particle Filter Bracket May Detach

Porsche is recalling 109 Panamera vehicles because the clamp connecting the particle filter to the exhaust pipe may not be fully closed, allowing the filter to potentially detach when driving over bumps. If this occurs, exhaust gas can leak and cause rattling noises and exhaust smells. Porsche will inspect the clamp and replace components as needed.

Reason

This can then cause exhaust gas to leak out and rattling noises. If this happens the customer will notice an exhaust smell and the pre-mentioned noise. Remedy: Affected vehicles will be recalled so the clamp can be checked. Where necessary relevant components will be replaced.
