Porsche 911 Carrera Recalls
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, 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 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. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with optional central locking wheels. Safety Risk: A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. 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).
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the windshield and/or the rear window may not be properly attached. As a result, the front airbag(s) may not inflate properly in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could create an increased risk of injury in 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, replace the windshield and/or rear window.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the rear passenger seat belts may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat. Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. Safety Risk: A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in 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, replace the rear seat belt(s).
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with optional full bucket seats, the seat-mounted airbags could deploy in a crash that doesn't require them to. Safety Risk: A seat-mounted airbag that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the airbag control unit software.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime may not sound to alert you that the front passenger seat belt isn't buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual tell-tale when you switch the vehicle on, and the passenger isn't wearing their seat belt. Safety Risk: A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to ensure that your passenger is buckled. Not wearing a seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the instrument cluster software.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat. Safety Risk: A seat belt that is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.
Summary
Issue: On certain cars, the hazard warning lights may not turn on when they are switched on. Specifically, if a driver is in the car with the seat belt unbuckled and the ignition off, after 90 seconds, if an attempt is made to turn on the hazard lights, they may not turn on. Safety Risk: Hazard lights that do not turn on could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your car to a dealer to update the control unit software.
