Porsche Panamera

Issue: 
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.  

Safety Risk: 
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.  

Corrective Actions: 
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.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a retaining ring on top of the suspension strut may become loose and detach. If this happens, air could leak from the spring and cause a drop in ride height. This could affect vehicle handling and stability. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A change in vehicle handling or a loss of stability 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 inspect and, if necessary, secure the retaining ring(s).

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the headlamps to become incorrectly aimed while reversing. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. 

Safety Risk: 
Headlamps that aren't aimed correctly could cause reduced visibility and/or glare for oncoming drivers and could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Action: 
Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the central control unit software.

Issue: 
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. 

Safety Risk: 
A charging cable that overheats could create a fire risk. 

Corrective Actions: 
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.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, water could leak into the external coolant pump for the climate control system and cause a short circuit. If this happens, the pump and wiring could overheat and melt. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to replace the external coolant pump. Additionally, the connections for the pump will be inspected and replaced, if necessary.
