Porsche keeps setting new sales records, but it's still hardly what we'd call a "mass-market" or "mainstream" automaker. So when it issues a recall notice approaching six digits in scope, we sit up and take notice. And that's just what it's done here.



The German manufacturer, best known for its sports cars, has sent out a recall notice covering 99,665 of its vehicles in the United States alone – all of them from the first-generation Cayenne and Panamera families, equipped with automatic (or dual-clutch) transmissions. And it's not just for some regulatory or clerical issue, either.
