Porsche has recalled a handful of 918 Spyder supercars over a problem with the suspension components.
The company suggests a small batch of rear-axle longitudinal and transverse control arms do not meet required specifications. The connecting links are said to be prone to failure, potentially causing control problems and increasing the risk of a crash.
The problem was first spotted during extreme durability testing on Porsche’s race track and testing facility in Nardo, Italy, where one of the control arms failed in a test vehicle.
The problem parts are said to be limited to just five vehicles built from May 7 through June 18, 2014.
Owners will be contacted to bring in their $845,000 hybrid supercar to a service center inspection and a new set of rear control arms.
