Porsche 911: questions owners ask
Which Porsche 911 year has the most problems?
By owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Porsche 911 model years with the most are the 2013 (10), 2022 (10) and 2015 (8). Newer model years have had less time on the road, so their counts are naturally lower; compare years of a similar age.
Which Porsche 911 years have the fewest complaints?
Leaving out the newest model years (too new to compare), the fewest owner complaints were filed for the 2016 (2), 2018 (2) and 2019 (2), out of 13 model years from 2012 to 2024. A low count can also mean that year sold fewer cars.
How many recalls does the Porsche 911 have?
NHTSA lists recalls for 13 Porsche 911 model years, 32 in total when counted per model year (one recall often covers several years). The years with the most are the 2020 (6), 2012 (4) and 2022 (4). Check a specific car's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
