Porsche Recalls 173,538 U.S. Vehicles Over Rearview Camera Failure

VIN checks open Jan. 19, with owner letters to follow Feb. 16.

Overview

  • U.S. regulators say the rear camera image may not display in reverse, reducing rearward visibility and raising crash risk under federal rear-visibility rules.
  • The recall covers select 2019–2025 Cayenne and Cayenne E‑Hybrid, 2020–2025 911 and Taycan, and 2024–2025 Panamera and 2025 Panamera E‑Hybrid models.
  • Porsche dealers will provide a free driver‑assistance software update, and owners can verify eligibility via NHTSA’s VIN search starting Jan. 19 before notification letters go out on Feb. 16.
  • The action is one of Porsche’s largest recent safety recalls in the U.S., with NHTSA estimating roughly 1% of the company’s vehicles are affected.
  • The move follows similar rearview‑camera recalls across 2025 involving Hyundai, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler.
