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 749 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 16 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V841000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 29 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 176 complaints with NHTSA, 98 of them before this campaign was filed. 88 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 24 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 March 20, 2024 as campaign 24V217000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
