A late-9Y0 Cayenne with almost no federal file — genuinely calmer, with an air-spring strut worth checking and the rear-axle and camera recalls to verify.

Even with a nearly empty 2022 file, the generation's cooling pattern is worth pricing in on any 9Y0 Cayenne. The water pump is vacuum-operated; when it fails, coolant can migrate into the vacuum system and cause overheating or power loss, and because the front end must come off to reach it, later-life repairs run into the thousands. A separate 2020-era owner theme was the coolant changeover valve. There's no 2022-specific complaint cluster here — this is a maintenance heads-up, not a defect claim. Have a Porsche independent pressure-test the cooling system as part of any pre-purchase inspection.

The other two 2022 filings. One owner reported a persistent mildew/musty HVAC odor on startup that the dealer wouldn't resolve by replacing the evaporator coil under warranty — a comfort and possible air-quality nuisance, not a safety defect. Another reported an intermittent 'mileage could not be recorded' message alongside a rearview camera that intermittently failed after shifting to reverse, which ties to the rangewide camera recall. Both are minor; run the HVAC after the car has sat, and cycle the camera through several reverse cycles.

The 2022 carries two recalls, both free. Recall 22V-040 re-checks the rear-axle alignment (and replaces unevenly worn tires) on 2021–2022 Cayennes where that step may have been skipped after the earlier 21V-271 trailing-arm repair. Recall 25V-896 (issued December 2025) covers a rearview image that may not display in reverse, with a free driver-assist software update. Verify both by VIN; the camera recall's parts were still rolling out as of early 2026, so a completion date matters.
