Yes!! My 2019 macan s too.

I don’t drive it in the winter and came to start it this morning and noticed the same thing.

3 out of the 4 are doing it.

Was this a recalled part ?

I have exactly the same cracks on three doors. They quoted me 1k for repair, which is disgusting. How did you managed your repair/replacement?

That was "mayling's" one and only post, doubt you'll get an answer from him, someone else maybe

Mine have gone again but car still under warranty so will be done under that

Ive been through this twice now .... first time front handles only replaced under extended warranty at Brooklands Porsche , 2nd time all four handles , had to get Porsche GB involved and they helped with cost but still i had to fork out best part of £500 not impressed .... there is a recall in N America where they conceded there was an issue ..

That is so bad. Not even the cheapest car I have ever owned has had this happen

I just discovered same defect on the three handles.
Porsche is not accepted this as a defect of material, design or product doesn’t fit to the purpose, referring to instructions do not take care of this kind of defects. It is just disgusting, people should not buy this car, it is nothing to do with luxury, you buying overpriced car with a headache for you.

Is this just on cars with entry and drive?

Andy, yes I believe that is the case, I don’t remember hearing of handles cracking on the normal central locking cars. However I am sure that if I am not correct someone will soon be along to point it out.
