The newly recalled vehicles include 548 units of the 911 and 718.
While this is still a US issue, Porsche has reportedly recalled 548 vehicles from its 911 and 718 series following two incidents of center lock failures that occurred in May and August of 2026. *No injuries were reported in either of the two incidents.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the center lock could break, potentially causing the wheel to detach while driving.
The reason this recall is being expanded is because it adds to the scope of recall "24V809," which was filed in October 2024. This additional recall has been assigned a new campaign number, "26V682."

Porsche has identified 548 additional vehicles by cross-referencing supplier data with manufacturing dates and vehicle production records.
This follow-up study reportedly revealed aspects that were overlooked in the initial investigation.
Incidentally, the only models newly affected by this update are the '2024 models'. And all affected models are those with a 'center lock' system.
The models and quantities currently available in the United States are as follows:
- 911 GT3 (50 units)
- 911 GT3 RS (41 units)
- 911 Turbo (13 units)
- 911 Turbo S (94 units)
- 911 S/T (39 units)
- 911 Carrera GTS (168 units)
- 718 Cayman GT4 RS (73 units)
- 718 Spyder RS (70 units)
In a center lock system, the tightening force is concentrated on a single component, so if that component breaks, the wheel can separate from the hub, increasing the risk of collisions.
According to Porsche, owners may feel vibrations before the wheel separates from the hub.
Following the report of this damage incident, a new investigation into Hirschvogel (primarily a supplier of center-lock components) revealed that previously unidentified material movements in the manufacturing and logistics processes had been overlooked in the traceability assessment.
Hirschvogel and Porsche have confirmed that the newly identified problematic center lock component originates from the same material lot as the initial recalled component. They have also reviewed the delivery slips related to that lot.
The center lock in question was reportedly used in 2024 models manufactured between June 7, 2024 and July 19, 2024.
The repair procedure for this recall is the same as before: dealers will need to inspect the fixed system, and if any problems are found, potentially defective parts will be replaced free of charge.
Replacement center locks will be supplied from the appropriate specification lot.
In the United States, Porsche plans to contact owners of the 26V682 within a few weeks of receiving the application via email, push notification, and phone (formal notification letters will also be sent out in due course). However, it is currently unknown whether this will affect vehicles that have already been delivered to Japan.
This recall, like the previous one, instructs you to "not drive the vehicle" until the repairs are completed.
As of October 23, 2026, no new domestic notifications have been confirmed in Japan in response to this additional recall in the United States. However, since the previous similar recall was also announced in the United States first before being announced in Japan, caution may be advised.
If you own a 911/718 with a center-lock wheel (listed above) manufactured between approximately June 7, 2024 and July 19, 2024, you may want to check this information just in case. *The above timeframe is for the US market only, and the impact on Japanese-spec vehicles and the scope of this issue are currently unknown.

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Since I got my hands on a Porsche 911, I've been completely hooked on Porsches and I can't stop loving them, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are the 911 Carrera (2/991), 911 Carrera Cabriolet & 911 Carrera T (1/992), GT3 (1/997) and 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
