Porsche Panameras, Bentley Continentals Recalled over Fire Risk

Porsche has announced a recall for 24,467 units of its 2017–2022 Panamera over a fire risk caused by a faulty external coolant pump. When humidity enters the climate control system's external coolant pump, Porsche says, it could cause a short circuit and thermal damage that could result in a fire. There's a faulty external coolant pump that could cause a vehicle fire on certain 2017–2022 Porsche Panameras, so the company will recall 24,467 to fix the problem. In its filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Porsche says problems occur when humidity enters the climate control system's external coolant pump. Owners of both Bentley and Porsche models will be notified of the recall in March.
