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.

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, there could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the battery modules could overheat and short circuit. Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall nos. 2023-661, 2024-180 and 2024-181. Certain vehicles that were repaired under these recalls also require this repair. Safety Risk: A short circuit in the high-voltage battery can create a fire risk.

Summary

Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the center screen and touch control panel to appear blank, or the real-top-view image to flicker when the vehicle is started. If this happens, the rearview camera image will not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when reversing.

Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front seat wiring and secure it under the seat.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the centre-rear seat belt buckle could interfere with the lower universal anchorage system (UAS) for securing a child seat. As a result, you may not be able to properly attach a child seat in the right-rear seat using the UAS. Safety Risk: A child seat that isn't properly secured 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 wiring harness for the centre-rear seat belt buckle. The wiring will be re-routed and secured, as necessary.
Summary
Issue: Under certain conditions, the pre-collision system may automatically switch on the hazard warning lights in a non-emergency situation. Safety Risk: Hazard warning lights that switch on in a non-emergency situation may confuse other drivers, and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the vehicle. This will remove the automatic hazard warning light function.
