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.
- Lights And Instruments#2025068
95 units affected
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.
- Seats And Restraints#2025067
56 units affected
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.
- Wheels#2024646
426 units affected
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).
- Structure#2024128
1,180 units affected
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.
- Seats And Restraints#2024107
193 units affected
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).
- Airbag#2023571
572 units affected
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.
- Seats And Restraints#2023145
6,401 units affected
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.
- Seats And Restraints#2021485
621 units affected
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.

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.
- Lights And Instruments#2019622
171 units affected
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.
- Airbag#2019353
550 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the airbag electronic control unit could be damaged by an electrical fault. This could cause the airbag system not to work properly in a crash. It could also result in a deployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners without a crash. Safety Risk: Airbags that do not work properly in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Airbags or seat belt pretensioners that deploy without a crash could create a risk of injury and also increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the airbag control module. If an electrical fault is detected, the airbag control module will be replaced.
- Powertrain#2019291
6 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the nut that connects the driveshaft to the wheel hub may not be tightened correctly. Over time, the nut could loosen and may result in the driveshaft disconnecting. This could cause a loss of power to the drive wheels. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the drive wheels or sudden, unexpected movement of the car could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the nut with a new one and ensure it is tightened correctly.
- Airbag#2019114
75 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the airbag sensors may not be properly attached to the chassis. This could cause the airbag system not work as designed in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag system that does not work properly in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the airbag sensors fasteners inspected. Dealers will ensure the fasteners are properly tightened.
- Airbag#2017109
12 units affected
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with a front passenger airbag that does not meet specifications. This could cause the front passenger airbag to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash that warrants deployment of the passenger frontal airbag, which could increase the risk of injury to the occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace front passenger airbag module.
- Fuel System#2017041
429 units affected
On certain vehicles and replacement engines, the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes could shear off due to stress corrosion cracking. If this occurs, fuel could leak into the engine compartment which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fastening screws of each of the collection pipes with new and improved screws.
- Structure#2014498
110 units affected
On certain vehicles the front hood lock may have been improperly manufactured. The front hood lock upper components, on which the catch bar are riveted to the mounting plate, were not produced according to specifications. This could result in the hood opening unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven. This could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the upper part of the lock on the front hood.
- Airbag#2013351
17 units affected
On certain vehicles, a defective wiring harness in the passenger seat may result in the deactivation of the passenger side frontal and knee airbags, illuminating the airbag warning lamp. Failure of the passenger airbags to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger seat in affected vehicles.
- Other#2013061
111 units affected
On certain vehicles, exhaust tailpipes can fracture and detach from mufflers. A tailpipe separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace both muffler assemblies.
- Fuel System#2012102
104 units affected
On certain vehicles, a fuel line quick connector could uncouple as a result of contact with a coolant pipe. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Fuel leakage could also cause the engine to misfire and stall. Engine stalling would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a spacer ring to prevent contact between the fuel line quick connector and the coolant pipe.
- Seats And Restraints#2011293
16 units affected
On certain vehicles, the seatbelt anchors were manufactured incorrectly and, as a result, may not rotate as designed. Failure of the seatbelt anchorage to restrain the occupant as intended would increase the risk of personal injury during a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the seatbelt anchors.
