Defect. Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2019-2025 Cayenne, Cayenne E-Hybrid, 2020-2025 911, Taycan, 2024-2025 Panamera, and 2025 Panamera E-Hybrid vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk. A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Engine

COMPONENT THAT FAILED: A high-pressure fuel injector (cylinder 2). The failed injector and engine wiring harness are available for inspection on request. The vehicle is currently at an authorized dealer. WHAT HAPPENED: While driving at approximately 35-45 mph under light throttle in normal traffic, the engine began misfiring without warning. The misfire worsened rapidly over several seconds and the engine ran roughly enough that I pulled off the road. A strong burning smell was present immediately afterward. The vehicle has continued to misfire since. SAFETY RISK: The failure caused a sudden and unexpected loss of engine performance while the vehicle was moving in traffic, with no prior warning. Had this occurred at highway speed, in a merge, or in an intersection, the loss of power could have created a serious hazard. The strong burning smell suggests unburned fuel reaching the exhaust system and overheating the catalytic converter, which raises a fire concern. CONFIRMED BY: Yes. An independent service center and an authorized dealer both diagnosed the failure. Ignition components were ruled out by swapping spark plugs and coils between banks; the misfire remained on the same cylinder. Compression and cylinder leakdown tested normal, confirming the engine is mechanically sound. Scan tool data with the engine off showed the bank 1 high-pressure fuel rail losing pressure rapidly while bank 2 held normal pressure, indicating a high-pressure fuel leak. The dealer confirmed the f

Loss of power due to Injectors failure on acceleration. A reproducible pattern on HWY merges or passes for example. This is an issue that has been identified and experienced by other Porsche 992/718 owners. Issue discussed in the following thread: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Exterior Lighting
Filed Apr 27, 2026FL

Both my rear break lights are showing stress cracks from movement of the frame of the body. There are other references to this happening online from other owners and it's a manufacturer defect. I brought to the dealer and was told that they should be replaced for $3000 each as they are allowing water to intrude and will cause a shorting out of the brake lights. No brake lights would be a major hazard. The cracks in both lights were not due to impacts. It is a design issue.

I am writing to express my significant frustration regarding the handling of NHTSA Recall 25V896. I dropped off my vehicle several weeks ago following the recall notice, only to be informed later that the software remedy is not expected until Q2 2026. It is unacceptable to request that customers surrender their vehicles for a recall when the manufacturer is not yet prepared to provide the necessary service or solution.

Electrical System
Filed Feb 11, 2020CA

MY 2020 PORSCHE 911 WAS TWO DAYS OLD WHEN I GET A "IGNITION LOCK ERROR-SERVICE REQUIRED". THE NEXT DAY THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. AFTER THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM, I DROVE HOME AND PARK THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT'S COMPUTER WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE BECAUSE LOTS OF ITS FUNCTIONS ARE COMPUTER CONTROLLED. I ALSO JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NO.19V-878.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
