Luxury automaker recalls more than 173,000 vehicles in the US over rearview camera issue

Porsche is recalling 173,538 vehicles in the U.S. due to a defect that could cause rearview cameras to go dark while drivers are backing up.

The recall covers select 2019-2025 Cayenne and Cayenne E-Hybrid models, 2020-2025 911 and Taycan vehicles and 2024-2025 Panamera and 2025 Panamera E-Hybrid models, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

"A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash," the agency said.
