Known issues on the 2009 Cayenne. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the automatic transmission's gear position indication (PRNDL): if the vehicle is exited without the transmission being in Park and without the parking brake applied, the vehicle may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the headlights: missing caps over the low-beam horizontal adjustment screws can let the headlights fall out of proper adjustment, which may leave the road under-lit or throw glare into oncoming traffic. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are here.
Whether you're chasing a shift-linkage or PRNDL fault, checking headlight aim, or just working through a service interval on the S, Turbo or GTS, it keeps you on the torque specs and procedure Porsche actually published for this Cayenne.
