Known issues on the 2012 Panamera. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the gear position indication system: if the vehicle is exited without the transmission being in Park and without the parking brake applied, it may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of a crash. Another covers the electrical system, where water can enter the A/C blower control unit and cause a short circuit, raising the risk of fire. A third covers the engine, where camshaft controllers can come loose and trigger a stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A fourth covers the turbocharger, where the turbine wheel can fracture from a casting defect and draw oil into the exhaust, creating smoke and a fire risk. A fifth covers the headlights, where missing adjustment caps can leave the low beams improperly aimed, causing glare or poor road illumination and increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 13 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing an intermittent camshaft-controller stall to verifying the turbocharger or the blower control unit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 Panamera.
