As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 23V446000.
Defect description
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."
Safety consequence
Simultaneous activation of both center high-mounted brake lights may cause confusion for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
