On the Dash:
- Porsche recalls 173,538 U.S. vehicles due to rearview cameras that may not display in reverse.
- Affected models include Cayenne, 911, Taycan, and Panamera from 2019-2025.
- Dealers will provide free software updates; the recall follows similar actions by other automakers.
Porsche is recalling 173,538 vehicles in the U.S. after the rearview camera may fail to display when the vehicle is put in reverse, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Wednesday.
The recall affects certain 2019-2025 Cayenne and Cayenne E-Hybrid models, 2020-2025 911 and Taycan models, 2024-2025 Panamera, and 2025 Panamera E-Hybrid models. Regulators flagged that the vehicles do not meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard’s requirements for rear visibility.
Dealers will update the driver-assistance software at no charge to address the issue.
This is one of Porsche’s largest U.S. recalls in recent years, following a 2022 recall affecting 222,858 vehicles for missing headlight adjustment screw covers. Earlier this year, the NHTSA also issued similar recalls for Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, and Chrysler vehicles due to rearview camera failures that increased the risk of crashes.
The recall highlights ongoing concerns over rear visibility systems and their role in vehicle safety, particularly as automakers expand driver-assistance technologies across multiple model lines.
