Porsche Recall Overview
Safety Recalls & Notices
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the driver assistance system control unit software.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Porsche dealer during recall APA7 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-313) may not be effective. As a result, a second repair may be required. On certain vehicles, the high-voltage electric heater could fail. If this happens, you may experience reduced cabin heat, and the windshield defrost system may not work properly. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2023-313. Safety Risk: A windshield defroster that doesn't work may cause reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail. For certain vehicles, as an interim repair, Porsche will advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger compartment high-voltage electric heater with a new part of the same design. When the final repairs are available, Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger compartment high-voltage electric heater with an improved part.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the connections on the high-pressure fuel pumps may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the fuel could leak. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a V8 engine. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the connections on the high-pressure fuel pumps. The high-pressure fuel pump(s) and fuel line(s) will be replaced, as necessary.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, a retaining ring on top of the suspension strut may become loose and detach. If this happens, air could leak from the spring and cause a drop in ride height. This could affect vehicle handling and stability. Safety Risk: A change in vehicle handling or a loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, secure the retaining ring(s).
Summary
Issue: Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the rearview camera not to work when the transmission is shifted into the reverse gear. Additionally, on certain vehicles, water could leak into the rearview camera. As a result, these issues could cause the rearview camera image not to display correctly or at all. Note: This recall only affects certain electric models. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the reversing camera control unit software. Additionally, the dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the rearview and surround view cameras.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the passenger occupant classification system may malfunction. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. Note: This problem would cause an error message to display on the instrument panel and a warning chime to sound. The airbag indicator light would also display "passenger airbag off". Safety Risk: An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger-front seat cushion. Porsche advises that you shouldn't use the front passenger seat if an error message displays on the instrument panel or if the airbag indicator light displays "passenger airbag off" with an occupant in the seat.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the headlamps to become incorrectly aimed while driving. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: Headlamps that aren't aimed correctly could cause reduced visibility and/or glare for oncoming drivers and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module software.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the rear passenger seat belt buckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the seat belts could loosen or detach in a crash. Safety Risk: A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the rear seat belt buckle attachment bolts. The dealer will also reposition the noise-reducing mat, as necessary.
Summary
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, a software problem could cause the high beams to be too bright. Canadian regulations specify a maximum brightness for high beams. Safety Risk: High beams that are too bright could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the headlamp control unit.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the center wheel lock(s) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the wheel lock(s) could break and cause the wheel(s) to separate from the vehicle.

Additionally, a wheel that separates could create a hazard for others. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Porsche advises not to drive your vehicle until the recall repairs are completed. Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact a dealer to arrange to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the center wheel lock(s).
