Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a fault in the power steering system may cause an intermittent loss of steering assist without warning. A loss of power assist would result in a sudden, unexpected increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the power steering control unit software.

Transport Canada lists: Panamera 2017–2018 · Panamera 4S 2017–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rear-axle anti-roll bar connecting links could wear prematurely and cause a link to detach. A detached link could come in contact with other suspension parts and cause damage, which may affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the real-axle anti-roll bar connecting links.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
