The hazard
If the warning message is ignored consumers could use the vehicle with worn out brake pads. This may lead to a higher risk of an accident or serious injury.
The remedy
Affected owners will be contacted by mail or can contact their nearest Porsche dealer to arrange for the reprogramming of the instrument cluster software of the vehicle. The car will be reprogrammed with updated software.Consumers can also contact their local Porsche Centre at https://www.porsche.com/australia/dealersearch/
