Component

ENGINE

Manufacturer
Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
What Happened
The engine connecting rods in your 2021 Cayman, Cayman GT4, 718 Spyder, or Boxster GTS 4.0 are the long metal rods that connect the pistons to the crankshaft. They help transfer the up-and-down motion of the pistons into rotational energy.
Risk if Unfixed
If a connecting rod cracks or loosens while you're driving, your engine could suffer serious damage, stall, or leak oil. This could lead to a crash or even a fire.
Free Fix
Your authorized Porsche dealer will replace the connecting rods or, in some cases, the entire engine, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
