Dear Mr.
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Porsche has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2019 Model Year Porsche Cayenne Turbo vehicles. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action.
| What is the issue? | Due to a potential durability issue with the front shock absorbers, the absorber can become cracked and, in some cases even break. This can affect steering in certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. |
| What will we do? | Porsche will remedy this issue by having dealers re-program the affected software for free to prevent this issue from recurring. |
| What should you do? | If you hear any unusual noises from the front suspension, please bring your vehicle to your authorized Porsche dealer for immediate service. Please make contact with your authorized Porsche dealership to schedule a repair appointment, and to arrange in advance for a Porsche loaner vehicle should you require alternate transportation during the repair period. Replacing the affected parts is expected to take approximately two hours to complete. |
| Lease vehicles and address changes | If you are the lessor and registered owner of the vehicle identified in this action, the law requires you to forward this letter immediately via first-class mail to the lessee within ten days of receipt. If you have changed your address or sold the vehicle, please fill out the enclosed prepaid Owner Reply Card and mail it to us so we can update our records. |
