Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
For the 2025 Porsche Cayenne, the provided federal year-by-year record contains no 2025 entry—it runs from 2003 through 2024 and then jumps to 2026—so complaints, recalls, investigations, and TSB totals for the target year are not available in that dataset. The only 2025-specific figures provided are four isolated complaint categories—Electrical System/Service Brakes/Back Over Prevention, Forward Collision Avoidance, Forward Collision Avoidance/Lane Departure, and Fuel/Propulsion System/Forward Collision Avoidance—each with a single reported incident, plus two crash complaints and zero fire complaints. Adjacent model years suggest a low-activity context: 2024 recorded five complaints and four recalls, while 2026 recorded three complaints and one recall. Across the generation, complaint volume has generally declined from the 2011 and 2019 peaks, and TSBs crested around 2018–2020 before falling sharply toward 2026. Given the missing federal record for 2025, the data does not establish a clear reliability profile, so this is not a demonstrably bad year but also not one with enough documented history to recommend confidently; verify current recalls and service records before buying.
