## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2022487](/recalls/tc/2022487.md), 2022-08-31: Lights And Instruments. Issue: On certain vehicles, covers were not installed over the horizontal headlamp adjusters. As a result, the headlamps may be adjusted horizontally. Canadian regulations do not allow for horizontal headlamp adjustment unless the vehicle is equipped with a built\-in aiming device.  Safety Risk: Headlamps that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install caps over the headlamp adjustment screws.
- [2021113](/recalls/tc/2021113.md), 2021-03-04: Airbag. Issue: On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant sensor mat could stop working over time. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger\-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. Note: The airbag warning light or passenger airbag OFF light will turn on if the sensor mat stops working.  Safety Risk: An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash.  Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front passenger seat cushion and occupant sensor mat.
- [2020054](/recalls/tc/2020054.md), 2020-02-13: Fuel System. Issue: Over time, small cracks could develop in the fuel pump outlet. If this happens, there could be a fuel odour or fuel leak under the rear seat area.  Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.  Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump service cover. The fuel filter flanges will be inspected, and replaced if any cracks are found.
- [2019192](/recalls/tc/2019192.md), 2019-04-18: Label. Issue: Certain wheels were made without a marking that is required by Canadian regulations.

- [2018661](/recalls/tc/2018661.md), 2018-11-28: Accessories. On certain vehicles equipped with an optional ski bag, the fastening strap for the ski bag may have been sewn with incorrect thread.
