NHTSA recall 23V446000 · announced June 26, 2023 · filed by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. · 700 units affected

The problem

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."

The risk

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

What to do

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.
