What happened

Porsche Cars North America is recalling certain 2017-2020 Porsche Panamera and Cayenne models because the instrument cluster may fail to display a warning when brake pads are worn out. This defect means drivers may not be alerted to deteriorating brakes, potentially causing the vehicle to not respond as expected during braking and increasing the risk of a crash.

Porsche will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster at no charge. The recall began December 13, 2019. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 to arrange service.
