Lights and instruments
2022-08-31 · campaign 2022-487
Issue:
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.
Safety Risk:
Headlamps that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install caps over the headlamp adjustment screws.
Other
2019-12-11 · campaign 2019-621
Issue:
On certain cars, the owner's manual may be missing instructions on how to properly install a child seat.
Safety Risk:
If a user does not understand how to properly install a child seat, there could be an increased risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your car to a dealer to receive a supplementary owner's manual booklet with the missing information.
Airbag
2019-07-18 · campaign 2019-353 · 550 vehicles
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.
