Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 205 vehicles this is a small campaign: 61% of the 17,334 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 477. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 14 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V813000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 17 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 172 complaints with NHTSA, 93 of them before this campaign was filed. 85 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2021, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 23 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V896000 (back over prevention), 25V221000 (air bags), 24V732000 (electrical system), 24V731000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. with NHTSA on December 13, 2023 as campaign 23V840000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
