Transport Canada recalls
10- Suspension#2024408
180 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the left-front upper control arm may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the control arm could break and cause a sudden loss of control. Safety Risk: A loss of control 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 replace the left-front upper control arm.
- 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. 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.
- Powertrain#2020211
67 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a transmission fluid pipe was not properly welded. As a result, the pipe may leak transmission fluid. Safety Risk: A transmission fluid leak on the roadway could create a hazard for others by making the road slippery. Corrective Actions: Porsche Cars Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the defective transmission fluid pipe, if necessary.
- Fuel System#2020210
346 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the quick connector for the fuel line in the engine compartment can soften due to exposure to high engine temperatures. If this happens, there could be a fuel odour or fuel leak in the engine compartment. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel line and quick connector. Porsche recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.
- Accessories#2018661
128 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with an optional ski bag, the fastening strap for the ski bag may have been sewn with incorrect thread. This could cause the strap seams to tear in the event of crash, which would increase the risk of injury to the passengers. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected ski bags. Note: 72 of the affected ski bags may have been sold as an accessory part through Porsche Dealers.
- Engine#2017296
1,823 units affected
On certain vehicles, the fasteners of the camshaft adjusters could fail due to an assembly problem. If this occurs, this could cause abnormal engine noises, vibrations, illumination of the check engine light and could cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fastening screws of the camshaft adjusters and if necessary, replace the camshaft adjuster assemblies.
- Brakes#2016131
10,370 units affected
On certain vehicles, a circlip at the brake pedal hinge may not have been installed at the time of assembly. This could allow the pivot pin to move out of position, which would allow the pedal to wobble, and could fracture the brake pedal pivot through continued use. A fractured hinge would allow the pedal to separate from its pivot, which could lead to impaired brake function and increase stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and add a circlip as necessary.
- Lights And Instruments#2013354
31 units affected
On certain vehicles, the fuel gauge may indicate a greater quantity of fuel than what remains in the tank. As a result, if the tank were to become empty, engine stalling could occur which, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions, and driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will recalibrate the instrument cluster.
- Engine#2012209
24 units affected
On certain vehicles, the turbocharger turbine wheel may have been incorrectly manufactured and could fail. Turbine wheel failure would result in a noticeable decrease in vehicle performance. Continued vehicle operation could cause the turbine shaft to also fracture. If the fractured shaft moves out of a bearing, oil may be drawn into the exhaust system, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the turbocharger assembly.
- Lights And Instruments#2012070
1,840 units affected
On certain vehicles, the headlamp assemblies may not have been secured correctly during vehicle assembly. As a result, the headlamps could loosen and detach from the vehicle, which could compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users. In addition, the errant headlamp module could strike a vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the headlamp locking components.
