Porsche Tells 548 Owners to Stop Driving Their GT3s and Turbos Over Wheel Bolts
A new NHTSA filing adds 548 cars to the 2024 center-lock bolt recall. Wheels can detach, so Porsche wants the cars parked until a dealer inspects them.
Porsche has widened its center-lock wheel recall in the U.S., and the owners of 548 more cars are being told to park them. A new filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, campaign 26V682, says the central wheel bolt on certain 2024 Porsche 911 and 718 models can fracture and let a wheel come off.
NHTSA classifies it as a Do Not Drive recall, the agency's most urgent warning. That is a different call from a fire-risk notice, and our guide explains how a Do Not Drive warning differs from a Park Outside recall. This campaign carries no park-outside advice.
Which cars are covered
Every vehicle in the new campaign is a 2024 model. The list includes the 911, 911 Carrera GTS, 911 GT3, 911 GT3 RS, 911 Turbo, and 911 Turbo S, plus the 718 Spyder RS and 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The recall summary also names the 911 S/T, though no separate S/T entry appears in NHTSA's model records.
A center-lock setup holds each wheel with one large central bolt rather than a ring of lug bolts, so a failed bolt leaves nothing else keeping the wheel on the hub. NHTSA warns that a detached wheel can cause a loss of control and raise the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the wheel fastening system and replace any incorrectly manufactured parts at no cost. Porsche's internal code for the campaign is ATA1. Affected VINs have been searchable on NHTSA.gov since October 20, and owner letters are due December 15, 2026. Owners can reach Porsche at 1-800-767-7243.
What changed since 2024
This is the second wave. In October 2024, Porsche filed recall 24V809 for the same failure. After an amendment that December, it covered 2,251 vehicles: the 2021–2024 911, the 2024 718, and the 2025 Panamera. Those owners were also told to stop driving.
According to Porsche's 2024 defect report, the problem traced to a single batch of out-of-spec bolts from German supplier Hirschvogel. The company logged four U.S. incidents that fall, including two crashes in which a wheel came off, and reported no injuries. The root cause was still under investigation at the time.
The new campaign is narrower. It covers 548 cars, all from the 2024 model year, and the Panamera is gone from the list. It also gets its own recall code instead of reopening the old one.
What Porsche hasn't said is just as notable. The public summary for 26V682 gives no count of incidents or injuries, and it doesn't explain why these particular VINs were missed the first time or whether they come from the same batch. The affected models are some of Porsche's most sought-after cars, and 911 demand in the U.S. has stayed strong this year.
What owners should do
Owners of a 2024 911 or 718 with center-lock wheels should check their VIN on NHTSA.gov now rather than wait for the December letter, and arrange to have the car transported to a dealer instead of driving it there. Porsche hasn't said when replacement parts will be available in volume.
