What's wrong?
The headlight control module software on the 2024 Porsche Taycan tells the exterior lamps how to behave in each lighting mode. It controls the optically combined LED parking lamp and turn signal function, so the light pattern matches U.S. requirements when a turn signal is operating.
On affected Taycan vehicles, the control unit received a data set with lighting behavior meant for ECE markets, not the U.S. That software parameter changes parking lamp performance during turn signal operation. Porsche traced the issue to the supplier adopting the wrong lighting behavior in the data set, which left the vehicles out of compliance with FMVSS 108.
There is no broken lamp housing or replacement lighting part identified for this recall. The dealer updates the affected control unit with the corrected U.S. data set. There is no warning sign before failure.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific car.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect headlight control module software can keep the parking lights from working as intended when the turn signals are activated. That reduces the vehicle's visibility to other drivers and increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Porsche Taycan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free headlight-control-module software update that fixes the parking-light operation when turn signals are activated.
- Bring the recall notice if Porsche mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V654 when you call.
- Avoid relying on parking lights for visibility until the software update is complete, and use extra caution in low-light driving.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician updates the headlight control module software for the affected Taycan. The update corrects the software installed in the module so the headlight system matches the required lighting standard. The recall repair is available now, and the software update is free. Porsche is not offering reimbursement for this campaign, so prior out of pocket repair costs are not handled through a recall reimbursement program. If you have prior repair paperwork, ask the Porsche service desk to note it on your appointment record.
