The problem
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2025 Taycan vehicles. The rearview image may not immediately display when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk
A delayed rearview camera image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the central computer software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 23, 2024. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ARB8.
Contacts
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
