How many recalls does the 2023 Porsche Cayenne have?

NHTSA lists 1 recall for the 2023 Porsche Cayenne model year. Whether one car had the recall work done depends on that car, so check its VIN with NHTSA.

What is the WhipWorthy verdict on the 2023 Porsche Cayenne?

Worthy. About the usual owner complaints. The verdict weighs this year against the other years of the Cayenne, from owner complaints filed with NHTSA, which are unverified and not adjusted for how many cars were sold.

2003: 2 owner complaints, Not judged

Our take: worth a look. Owners filed about as many complaints as in a typical year of this model.

Year verdict

Worthy

0.8× a typical year

About as many owner complaints as a typical year. Still get it inspected.

Confidence: Low

Only 5 complaints in its first 4 years and 10 months, which can mean a strong year or very few cars sold.

Past 100,000 miles

Not judged

Too young to judge at high mileage. Most 2023 cars have not reached 100,000 miles yet, so their problems past it have not shown up.

How the dial was counted

Year verdict: Typical year: 6 complaints, the median of 5 nearby years, leaving out 2016 and 2019, which were high themselves. Each counted over its first 4 years and 10 months from January 2022; this one had 5.

Odometer check

No one part has enough complaints that give a mileage to mark a problem zone, so there is nothing yet to hold a car's miles against.

Will it outlast the loan?

Driver assist and cameras
Dec 19, 2025 · Recall 25V896000
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2019-2025 Cayenne, Cayenne E-Hybrid, 2020-2025 911, Taycan, 2024-2025 Panamera, and 2025 Panamera E-Hybrid vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
What can happen
A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the driver assistance software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 13, 2026. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ASB2. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 19, 2026.

Before you buy this one

5 checks, with a close look at the electrical

Built from this year's numbers. Whatever the data says, the car in front of you is the one that counts.

Run the VIN at NHTSA to confirm every recall was fixed.
This year has 1 recall on file. Recall repairs are usually free at a dealer for the brand. Ask the dealer to confirm before any work is done. Look up a VIN at NHTSA.
Ask the seller for the service records.
Look closely for any work on the electrical. It is the part owners complain about most for this year.
Have a mechanic you trust inspect it before you pay.
Ask them to look at the electrical first.
Look at a vehicle history report.
It can show reported crashes, flood or salvage titles, and mileage that does not add up.
On the test drive, pay attention to the electrical.

What a paid report adds

A history report such as Carfax or AutoCheck pulls in more of the car’s past than these checks can:

Crashes and damage reported by police, insurers or shops, even when it was fixed.
Service visits that shops reported, with the miles each time.
How many owners, for how long, and the states it was registered in.
Whether it was a rental, fleet or lease car, when that was reported.

It only knows what was reported to it. A clean report is not proof of a clean car. Ask the seller first: many dealers hand one over for free.

Red flags in a history

Salvage title
Usually an insurer called it a total loss. In most states it cannot be driven on the road until it is rebuilt and inspected.
Rebuilt title
A salvage car that was fixed and passed a state check. It can be fine, but it is worth less, can be harder to insure, and needs a careful inspection.
Flood damage
Water can ruin wiring and sensors months later. Be wary of a flood brand that vanished after a move to another state.
Lemon or maker buyback
The maker bought it back over a defect it could not fix. Ask what the defect was and how it was fixed.
Odometer rollback
A mileage reading lower than an earlier one, or a title marked not actual miles.
Many owners, fast
Three owners in two years can mean a problem each one passed along.
Gaps in the records
Years with no service or registration. Ask why: it may have sat, been off the road, or been rebuilt.

Title words and rules differ by state. Not legal advice.

Pre purchase inspection
