If your 2021-2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS, 718 Cayman GT4 RS, or 911 VIN is in recall 24V809, do not drive.
Wheel detachment can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. Do not drive, even for short trips. If the vehicle must move, ask the dealer about towing. A fractured center lock brings immediate vibration, so stop and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
Porsche is recalling 2,251 vehicles, including 2021-2024 911, 718 Spyder RS, and 718 Cayman GT4 RS models, because the center lock wheel bolt can fracture and let a wheel detach. Do not drive an affected vehicle until a Porsche dealer completes the free repair.

What's wrong?
The central lock wheel bolt on these Porsche models is the fastener that secures each wheel to the vehicle. On 2021-2024 911, 718 Spyder RS, and 718 Cayman GT4 RS vehicles with this setup, the bolt holds the wheel tight against the hub so the wheel stays fixed while the car accelerates, brakes, and turns.
On affected vehicles, the center lock wheel bolt can fracture. Porsche traced the subject parts to an out-of-specification component batch, while the final cause remains under investigation. If the bolt breaks, it loses the clamping force that keeps the wheel attached. The wheel can then detach from the vehicle.
The warning sign Porsche identified is immediate perceptible vibration if the center lock fractures. Treat new vibration while driving as a serious signal, especially at highway speed.
Who's affected?
The shared part is the central lock wheel bolt across the listed 718 and 911 variants.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS, 718 Cayman GT4 RS, or 911 is included in this recall.
- Do not drive the vehicle until the center lock wheel fastening repair is complete.
- Arrange a tow if the vehicle has to be moved to the dealer; do not drive it there yourself.

What happens at the repair
Do not drive the vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Ask Porsche about towing if the vehicle has to move. At the dealer, a Porsche technician checks the center lock wheel fastening system and replaces any incorrectly manufactured parts that are found. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the Porsche New Car Limited Warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles are still under warranty.
