What's wrong?
The gateway control unit in affected 2024 Porsche Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne Turbo GT, and Cayenne S Coupe vehicles is the electronic hub that manages messages between vehicle networks. It helps route commands from switches and control modules to systems such as the exterior lighting, including the hazard warning lights and parking lights.
The problem is software inside that gateway control unit. After the vehicle is turned off and the gateway shuts down, the software can miss a lighting command sent within 10 seconds. In that narrow window, the rear hazard warning lights and parking lights do not illuminate even though the driver activated them.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would notice the problem only after turning the vehicle off, activating the hazards or parking lights right away, and seeing that the rear hazard warning lights or parking lights are not on.
Who's affected?
Covers five Cayenne variants for the 2024 model year, all tied to the same gateway control unit software.
| 2024 Porsche Cayenne | Software |
|---|---|
| 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe | Software |
| 2024 Porsche Cayenne S | Software |
| 2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT | Software |
| 2024 Porsche Cayenne S Coupe | Software |
| Units affected | 2,934 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the rear hazard warning lights or parking lights fail, other drivers have less warning that the vehicle is stopped or visible in low light. That reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the lights fail. Schedule the dealer software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Porsche Cayenne, Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo GT, or Cayenne S Coupe is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free gateway control unit software update that fixes the rear hazard warning light and parking light problem.
- Reference recall number 23V527 and Porsche recall APB1 when you call.
- Bring the recall notice if Porsche mailed one, or bring your VIN and the recall number to the appointment.
- Use extra care if you need the rear hazard warning lights or parking lights shortly after shutting the vehicle off, since the lights can fail to illuminate and reduce visibility.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician updates the gateway control unit software so the rear hazard warning lights and parking lights operate correctly after shutdown. The software update is free at the dealer now, with parts and labor covered by Porsche. Porsche did not create a separate reimbursement program because the affected vehicles were covered by the Porsche New Car Limited Warranty. Ask the service desk how the warranty applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
