2014 PORSCHE CAYMAN S

The 2014 Porsche Cayman is listed by the auction with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” designation and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible damage to the left door, rocker panel, and adjacent side area supports the SIDE primary-damage claim. However, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The left door outer panel has a large, deep dent with multiple sharp creases and severe deformation across the lower and rear sections. The left rocker panel below the door is crushed and irregularly deformed along a substantial portion of its length. Exterior body panels and trim are missing behind and below the left door and around the rear side-intake area, leaving internal components and open mounting areas visible. The left door and lower side sill also have extensive paint abrasion and scraped areas. Inside, the lower side bolster of the left front sport seat shows heavy abrasion and fraying. White abrasion marks and additional fraying are visible on a sport-seat lower side bolster. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 Porsche Cayman S coupe with a 3.4-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 325 hp. It was manufactured by Porsche in Osnabrück, Germany. NHTSA records list four recalls associated with this model and year. Recall 21V679000 concerns possible fracture of the rear-axle carrier side sections, which could cause loss of control; the stated remedy is replacement of the affected sections. Recall 19V875000 concerns insufficiently specific child-restraint installation instructions in the owner’s manual, with an owner’s-manual supplement provided as the remedy. Recall 13V502000 concerns defective passenger-seat wiring harnesses that may deactivate the passenger frontal and knee airbags; the stated remedy is passenger-seat replacement, subject to the affected production range.

Recall completion should be verified with Porsche or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
