Porsche has announced a recall on approximately 17,700 model-year 2017-18 Panamera cars due to software issues. A software failure may result in an intermittent loss of electric power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
Porsche began notifying owners Feb. 17. Owners can call the automaker at 800-767-7243 or the National Highway Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the power steering control unit.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
