What happened

Porsche Cars North America is recalling certain 2017–2019 Porsche Panamera and 2019 Cayenne models because the instrument cluster may fail to display a visual warning when brake pads become worn. Without this alert, drivers may not know their brakes need attention, which could cause them to lose control of the vehicle while braking and increase the risk of a crash.

Porsche will notify owners, and authorized dealers will update the instrument cluster software at no charge. The recall started April 19, 2019. Affected consumers should contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 to arrange service.
