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.

Transport Canada recall 2025572 · manufacturer campaign ASB0

20 October 2025

Transport Canada lists: Taycan 2020–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Porsche dealer during recall APA7 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-313) may not be effective. As a result, a second repair may be required. On certain vehicles, the high-voltage electric heater could fail. If this happens, you may experience reduced cabin heat, and the windshield defrost system may not work properly. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2023-313.

Why it matters

A windshield defroster that doesn't work may cause reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Porsche will notify owners by mail. For certain vehicles, as an interim repair, Porsche will advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger compartment high-voltage electric heater with a new part of the same design. When the final repairs are available, Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger compartment high-voltage electric heater with an improved part.

2 October 2024

Transport Canada lists: Taycan 2020–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the battery modules could overheat and short circuit.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Porsche recommends that you set the maximum charge setting of your vehicle at 80% until the recall repairs are completed. Porsche will notify owners by mail. As an interim repair, a dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the high-voltage battery modules. Once the final repair is available, Porsche will notify you by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an advanced diagnostic software that will monitor the high-voltage battery and warn you if it detects a problem.

What is wrong
