Transport Canada lists: 911 2020–2025 · Cayenne 2019–2025 · Panamera 2024–2025 · Taycan 2020–2025

What is wrong

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.

Why it matters

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.

What the dealer will do

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.

What is wrong

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.

Why it matters

A charging cable that overheats could create a fire risk.

What the dealer will do

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.

31 March 2021

Transport Canada lists: Cayenne 2019–2021

What is wrong

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.

Why it matters

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

What the dealer will do

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

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a transmission fluid pipe was not properly welded. As a result, the pipe may leak transmission fluid.

Why it matters

A transmission fluid leak on the roadway could create a hazard for others by making the road slippery.

What the dealer will do

Porsche Cars Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the defective transmission fluid pipe, if necessary.

13 May 2020

Transport Canada lists: Cayenne 2019–2020

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the quick connector for the fuel line in the engine compartment can soften due to exposure to high engine temperatures. If this happens, there could be a fuel odour or fuel leak in the engine compartment.

Why it matters

A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel line and quick connector. Porsche recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

16 October 2019

Transport Canada lists: Cayenne 2019–2020 · Panamera 2017–2018

What is wrong

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.

Why it matters

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

What the dealer will do

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