Porsche is recalling almost half a million Cayenne luxury SUV models worldwide after an issue was discovered with a clip that secures the pedals.

The recall to the workshop for a precautionary check involves 409,477 Cayennes sold globally from 2011 and includes 14,600 UK models.

According to Porsche, the problem was found during internal inspections and remedied in the ongoing series. Vehicle owners will be contacted directly by the Porsche dealer responsible for them. A workshop appointment that will be free of charge will be arranged as quickly as possible and will take less than half an hour.
