2019 Porsche Cayenne Recall 19V111: Rearview Camera

Recall 19V111 affects 98 2019 Porsche Cayenne vehicles for delayed rearview camera display. Software repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.

Porsche is recalling 98 2019 Cayenne vehicles because a software failure can delay the rearview camera image. When the display does not respond as designed, the driver's view behind the vehicle is reduced and crash risk rises; Porsche dealers will update the software free of charge.

What's wrong?

The rearview camera system on the 2019 Porsche Cayenne is supposed to show the area behind the vehicle when reverse is selected. The camera sends that image to the in-cabin display so the driver can check for people, objects, or other vehicles while backing up.

On affected Cayennes, the vehicle was built with the wrong software version for that system. Porsche traced the problem to a software failure that increases the camera display response time. The camera image still comes from the rear of the vehicle, but the screen does not respond as quickly as required.

There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is not a worn camera or a loose mirror part that announces itself with noise or vibration. An owner would notice the problem only when the rearview image is delayed after selecting reverse.

Who's affected?

Both listed components belong to the rear visibility system.

Not every 2019 Porsche Cayenne is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the rearview camera display does not work as designed, the driver has a reduced view behind the car. That raises crash risk during backing or low-speed maneuvering. Check mirrors carefully and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Porsche Cayenne is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free rearview-camera software update that fixes the delayed display response.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Porsche mailed one, or reference recall number 19V111 when you call.
  4. Use extra care when backing up until the update is complete, since the rearview camera display can be delayed.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Porsche technician updates the software tied to the rearview camera display. The recall repair is free, including the software update and labor. If you've already paid out of pocket for a related rearview camera software repair before the recall work was performed, Porsche's general reimbursement plan on file covers documented expenses. Contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 or ask the service desk how to submit the repair paperwork.
