"Porsche is recalling 173,538 vehicles in the U.S. as the rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday. This is one of the largest single safety recalls issued by Porsche Cars North America in recent years, following a 2022 recall pertaining to missing headlight adjustment screw covers that affected 222,858 vehicles. The current recall affects certain 2019-2025 Cayenne, Cayenne E-Hybrid, 2020-2025 911, Taycan, 2024-2025 Panamera, and 2025 Panamera E-Hybrid models."
"The regulator flagged that the vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard's requirement for rear visibility. Dealers will update the driver assistance software, free of charge, the regulator said. Earlier this year, the NHTSA also issued recalls of Hyundai Motor America, Ford Motor, Toyota Motor, and Chrysler vehicles over similar rearview camera issues that may fail to display, increasing the risk of a crash."
