What's wrong?

The suspension alignment on the 2015 Porsche Cayenne sets the angles of the front and rear wheels so the tires point and lean the right way. Camber is the wheel's inward or outward tilt, toe is the direction the tire points, and caster helps the steering return and track straight. Those settings depend on screw connections that are tightened to a specified torque, which means a measured amount of clamping force.

On affected Cayennes, a manufacturing error left the suspension alignment step incomplete or incorrect. The screw connections for camber, toe, and caster were not tightened to the specified torque. If those fasteners loosen, the wheel alignment can shift, which changes how the SUV steers, tracks, and wears its tires.

There is no warning sign before failure. A driver should not rely on a noise, warning light, or obvious change before the alignment hardware has already moved out of position.
