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.
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.

Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall 2019-078. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
