What are the defects?
Due to a design defect, the chassis control arm mounts may not meet specifications and could corrode over the life of the vehicle. If the chassis control arm mounts corrode or crack, this could cause a reduction of vehicle control.
What are the hazards?
A reduction in vehicle control could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to the vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders.
What should consumers do?
Porsche strongly recommends that affected vehicles not be used for safety reasons until further notice.
Due to the delay in the availability of parts, Porsche AG considered whether your vehicle may be inspected in advance to be able to lift the Stop Use restriction. Due to safety concerns, Porsche AG determined that it is not possible to carry-out the inspection in advance.
Therefore, the premature cancellation of the safety recommendation not to use the affected vehicles until these components are replaced is now not possible.
Owners can also find their nearest Porsche dealer at https://www.porsche.com/australia/dealersearch/.
