NHTSA complaint #11454836, filed 2022-03“The main water pump on my 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S failed prematurely.

The coolant traveled through the vacuum lines and contaminated the vacuum solenoids and change-over valves. This failure mode presents a significant safety hazard because the vacuum system controls critical engine components, including turbocharger wastegates and exhaust flaps. …”
