Just took the wheels off after the winter from my mom's 2019 Cayenne III. The car has only 3000 miles. The weel hubs rusted so much, as if the car sat at the bottom of the ocean for six months. And it is only 6 months old from new!



Yes, we do have solt on the roads in the winter, but that is a lame excuse.

This is how my hubs, on a 2012 Cayenne 958 look like (with 80.000 miles) driven in the exact same conditions:



The car already had both engine heads replaced @ 800 miles as it was leaking oil like a crazy.

Is that a premium car quality ? This must be some kind of a joke.

 

What did the whole hub look like? Or was it just rusted in the area contained by the cap?

I've never been a fan of 1st generation anything. I've never liked being the beta test for real world driving conditions.

 

Transfer case issues, coolant leaks, vario-cam bolt failures, PASM suspension dropping out in cold weather, Porsche Cayenne "quality" leaves a lot to be desired. Porsche needs to step up and take care of the owners. Good luck getting PCA to address your issues.
