Rear hazard warning lights and parking lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Porsche is recalling certain 2024 Cayenne models because their rear hazard warning lights and parking lights might not turn on after the vehicle shuts off. This could reduce visibility to other drivers and increase crash risk.
After turning off the vehicle, the rear hazard warning lights and parking lights may not illuminate for up to 10 seconds if activated after the gateway control unit shuts off. This failure violates federal safety standards and can reduce visibility to other drivers, increasing crash risk.
Owners of 2024 Porsche Cayenne models (including S, Coupe, Turbo GT, and S Coupe variants) are affected. Drivers using these vehicles without the software update are most at risk.
Check for 2024 Cayenne models with the Porsche logo on the vehicle. The issue occurs after the vehicle is turned off, where rear lights may not turn on within 10 seconds of activation.
Dealers will update the gateway control unit software for free by September 26, 2023.
