Reported risk: Issue:
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.
Safety Risk:
While there is a low risk to safety, Canadian regulations require warnings to use common symbols, instead of words, to avoid driver confusion.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the instrument cluster.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
