Plain-English summary
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2024-2025 Macan Electric vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the rearview camera may show a blurry image or fail to display an image entirely. This issue causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
A rearview camera that does not display an image decreases the driver's visibility, which increases the risk of a crash. The defect is attributed to the back over prevention software.
Dealers will update the control unit software, inspect, and replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 23, 2025. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
