Porsche Recalls 173,538 U.S. Vehicles for Rear Camera Failures

Dealers will install a free software update to fix intermittent rear camera outages identified by U.S. safety regulators.

Overview

  • NHTSA determined the vehicles do not meet federal rear-visibility requirements, warning that a missing reverse image raises the risk of a backing crash.
  • The recall covers select 2019–2025 Cayenne and Cayenne E‑Hybrid, 2020–2025 911 and Taycan, plus 2024–2025 Panamera and 2025 Panamera E‑Hybrid models.
  • Recall paperwork links the glitch to transient signal noise between control units and surround‑view cameras that can intermittently interrupt the display.
  • Porsche’s remedy is a no-cost dealer software update, with affected VINs searchable on NHTSA’s site starting Jan. 19 and interim owner letters expected Feb. 16.
  • The action ranks among Porsche’s largest recent U.S. safety recalls and follows similar rear camera issues addressed by other automakers last year.
