2019 Porsche Cayenne Recall

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.

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.

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.

Under certain conditions, the 220 V vehicle charging cable plug could become damaged by the house power outlet. As a result, the charging cable could overheat while charging. Note: This recall only affects electric and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) models.

A charging cable that overheats could create a fire risk.

Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your 220 V vehicle charger to a dealership to replace the vehicle charging cable.

On a small number of vehicles, the screw that secures the steering column to the steering gear may not be properly tightened. If the screw comes loose, the steering column could detach and cause a complete loss of steering control.

A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to install a new screw to secure the steering column to the steering gear.

Certain vehicles may not display the correct warning indicator when the brakes are worn out. As a result, the brake wear indicator lamp ("BRAKE WEAR") may display instead of a symbol. Note: Worn out brakes will also cause a warning message to display in the message centre.

While there is a low risk to safety, Canadian regulations require warnings to use common symbols, instead of words, to avoid driver confusion.

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the instrument cluster.

On certain vehicles, the red brake wear warning light may not come on when the brake pads require replacement. This can happen when the instrument cluster display is set to the Map or Night Vision mode. Canadian regulations require the warning indicator to stay on when the brakes are worn. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall 2019-078. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.

Driving a vehicle with brakes that are worn out could increase the risk of a crash.

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the instrument cluster software.

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, the red brake wear warning light does not come on when the brake pads are worn out. This could increase the risk of the vehicle being driven with worn out brake pads. Note: A yellow warning message will be displayed if the brake pads wear out. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2019522. Please see recall 2019522 for more information.

Driving a vehicle with worn out brake pads could increase the risk of a crash.

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the instrument cluster software.

On certain vehicles, the right rear seat belt buckle may have been manufactured incorrectly and may not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear right seat belt buckle with an improved part.

A failure of this component (seats and restraints) 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).
