Porsche Cars Australia has recalled 77 vehicles across its 911 and 718 model ranges over a manufacturing defect that could cause the road wheel centre lock nuts to fracture.
Published on 23 October 2026, the recall is listed under recall number REC-006756 and campaign number ATA1. It covers selected 2024 model-year Porsche 911, GT4 RS and Spyder RS vehicles.
According to the official Australian vehicle recall notice, the defective centre lock nuts could fracture, allowing a wheel to loosen and potentially detach from the vehicle while driving.
If a wheel detaches at speed, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident that could cause serious injury or death to occupants, other road users and bystanders.
Porsche has issued an urgent instruction for owners of affected vehicles to stop using their cars until the necessary checks and remedial work have been completed.

What’s the defect, and why is it so serious?
The recall concerns the road wheel centre lock nuts fitted to certain Porsche vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, these nuts may fracture while the vehicle is in use.
Centre lock nuts secure the wheels to the vehicle. If one fractures, the wheel could become loose and eventually detach while driving.
A detached wheel could cause the driver to lose vehicle stability and control, particularly at higher speeds. This could result in an accident involving the vehicle’s occupants or other road users, potentially causing serious injuries or fatalities.
Unlike a routine component issue, this recall carries an immediate safety warning. Porsche has specifically requested that owners stop driving affected vehicles until they have undergone the required checks and any necessary remedial work.
