This is for Porsche Panamera S owners out there 2011-2012. This recall is for Camshaft Controllers that might fail inside the engine causing it to stall.
This happen to me yesterday. It has not been confirmed at the time of this notice, but my mechanic has informed me of this possible reason for my engine seizing while driving to work yesterday.
When I first started the car, I heard a clicking sound...much like when lifters dont have oil? I checked the oil level while driving and it was good. Then the car shuttered, the PSM failure light came on in yellow, then the check engine light in yellow and then abrupt turn red. The cars engine was off and I glided to the side of the road with hazards on and checked the engine bay and attempted a restart with not success!
I await Porsche response and fix of this problem.
