The defect
Due to an issue with the car's software, the red brake wear warning light is not illuminated continuously when the brake pads are worn out. Only a yellow warning message is shown in the multi-functional display, which can be confirmed and then suppressed until the car is next started.
The hazard
If the yellow warning message is continuously ignored, customers could use the vehicle with worn out brake pads. This may lead to a higher risk of an accident.
The remedy
Affected owners will be contacted by mail or can contact their nearest Porsche dealer to arrange an inspection and repair of the vehicle. The car will be reprogrammed with updated software.Affected owners can find their nearest Porsche dealer at www.porsche.com/australia/dealersearch/
