Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman represents the most stable point in the generation’s federal record, with filings dropping to just 1 complaint, zero recalls, and zero investigations compared to 5 complaints and 4 recalls in 2017. Technical Service Bulletins have declined sharply from 484 in 2017 and 461 in 2018 to only 31 in 2025, indicating significantly fewer manufacturing and service issues as the platform matured. While the single 2025 complaint involves the engine and one fire complaint appears on record, crash complaints remain at zero and the trend since 2023 shows sustained minimal defect rates. Given the dramatic reduction in TSBs and absence of safety campaigns, the 2025 model year stands out as a strong candidate for purchase.
