Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2008 Porsche Cayenne in Canada.
On certain vehicles, covers were not installed over the horizontal headlamp adjusters. As a result, the headlamps may be adjusted horizontally. Canadian regulations do not allow for horizontal headlamp adjustment unless the vehicle is equipped with a built-in aiming device.
Headlamps that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and increase the risk of a crash.
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install caps over the headlamp adjustment screws.
On certain vehicles, the transmission shifter could detach from the transmission. This could cause the transmission not to shift gears when the shifter is moved. As a result, the transmission could be in a different gear than the gear shifter indicates. If a driver attempts to exit the vehicle while the transmission is not in Park, and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle could move suddenly.
Sudden and unexpected movement of the vehicle could increase the risk of a crash.
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the shifter cable bushing. Owners are reminded to use the parking brake anytime the vehicle is parked.
Certain wheels were made without a marking that is required by Canadian regulations.
This small error does not affect safety.
This is not a recall. The company has made changes to include the required marking on all new parts.
On certain vehicles equipped with a V6 engine, a fuel line in the plenum area may contact the rear engine compartment cover. Overtime, relative movement of the involved components can cause chaffing damaged, which may result in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and reroute the fuel line. Should the fuel line exhibit damage, it would be replaced.
A failure of this component (fuel system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
