EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS

Issued by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. · Reported Jun 26, 2023 · 700 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2022-2023 911 GT3 Touring vehicles. A software error in the rear spoiler control unit may allow both the vehicle and spoiler center high-mounted brake lights to activate simultaneously when the rear spoiler is manually deployed at speeds below 56 MPH (90 km/h). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence

Simultaneous activation of both center high-mounted brake lights may cause confusion for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will reprogram the rear spoiler control unit, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 24, 2023. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APA8.
